Just in case you’ve forgotten, or maybe never knew, BNP is the acronym for Brethren Nutrition Program. This program of church outreach functions from the soup kitchen located in the Washington City Church of the Brethren.
On Saturday, October 17th, we had an afternoon of group cooking in the Oakton kitchen preparing food for BNP. In the church kitchen we cooked 7 kinds of soup, aproximately 40 gallons. We were much more efficient this year at the soup cooling process! “Practice produces efficiency”. We chopped around 45 pounds of vegetables, donated again by Garners Produce. The crew for the day included:
Cathy Carson
Nancy and Hanna Cline
Lincoln Cory
Lisa and Layne Freese
Mary Ellen Judd
Kay Lee
Celeste, Jean and Mark Phillips
John Shafer
Al Zebrowski

This year’s All Church Cooking Day for BNP also included the cook at home component. People who cooked at home provided several more gallons of 3 different kinds of soup and a variety of baked goods. All items were picked up by BNP on Tues. 10/20 and they passed along their great appreciation for our work and contributions.
All in all, it was a great day! Fun and good conversation were all part of our cooking day. Carolyn and Annika, from BNP, send along their thanks and great appreciation for our hard work and contributions.
