Come and Dine: Recipes from the First Apostolic Church of Worthington

First Apostolic Church of Worthington presents a collection of recipes rooted in the community's culinary traditions. The volume originates from the church dinners that Pastor Tommy and Luann Shields cherish alongside their religious duties. These gatherings have been a central part of their ministry since they began pastoring in December 1986, with their first service coinciding with Julie’s ninth birthday. The text highlights the significant role of Becky Shields, who dedicated her life to the church from age twelve until her passing in 2004. Her cooking is noted for a special touch that remains a favorite among the congregation. The book serves as a tribute to these shared meals and the faithful workers who prepared them. It offers readers a glimpse into the domestic side of the Worthington church experience. The content reflects the values of service and family that defined the Shields household. Those interested in community-based cooking or the history of American church gatherings may find this volume appealing. Readers seeking complex culinary techniques or gourmet presentations will likely not connect with this straightforward compilation. The work stands as a record of faith and food intertwined over decades.
