Festive feast for multi-cultural fellowship

Life at Communitas International Church in Riga is never predictable. This is the church I attend in Riga. It meets at the Latvian Biblical Centre in downtown Riga. With over twenty nationalities from all five continents in the congregation, each week has its surprises.

The last Sunday in November concludes with an American style Thanksgiving lunch, but the turkeys are cooked in American, Latvian, Croatian and Indian Style. There is corn bread and Naan Bread, Roast potatoes and Basmati rice, pumpkin pie, and Latvian pastries. It was a meal that tantalized and challenged the taste buds!

It was good post-Covid to have the freedom to cater for such an event and gather a bigger group of people to eat together.
