United Baptist Church Of Scriba To Host Take-Out Dinner November 3

SCRIBA, NY – The United Baptist Church of Scriba will host its Election Day take-out dinner November 3, with all of the proceeds going to Blessings in a Backpack.

On Election Day, the church will be featuring their famous ham and scalloped potato dinner that has become a popular tradition for both the church and the community. In addition to the above, the dinner will include butternut squash, a homemade dessert and a dinner roll.

Dinners will be served from 4 to 6 p.m. Cost is $10 per dinner with a reduced price of $5 for all veterans. Only take-out meals will be available this year. Follow parking lot attendants directions, stay in your vehicle and dinners will be delivered directly to your vehicle.

If you’d like to make sure you get a dinner, you may call or text Carla at (315-416-6116) prior to November 3 to reserve your meal.

In the past, the church held its Election Day Dinner to help supplement its support of various outreaches in the community and around the world. Support for multiple orphanages in Kenya and India is provided through the efforts of the Foundation Stone Ministries.

The church and its members also support local endeavors such as Oswego County Opportunities, The Oswego County Family Resource Centers, Ontario Bible Camp, Syracuse Teen & Adult Challenge and the Scriba Christmas Project.

This year, 100% of the proceeds from the dinner will go to the “Blessings in a Backpack” program supplying 100 hungry kids in the Mexico School District with food 38 weekends during the school year.

Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of this program.

Special thanks go to John Dunsmoor Farms for donating the potatoes, and the Mexico Tops Friendly Market for donating the dinner rolls for the event.

The church is located at 5111 State Route 104 east (4 miles east of Oswego, just west of Co Rte. 29, right next door to Dahl’s Diner.) The church phone number is (315-343-8542).
