I am completely blown away by all of you and the support we get from the local community during our Fish Fry. Every year I say, there is no way we can do better than what we did this year, yet somehow, we do. Last year’s 4,736 meals were crazy, yet this year we increased that by over 700, hitting a new record of 5,471 dinners sold. That’s just under 912 per week, or a meal served every 16 seconds. And that does not happen without the support of all the awesome volunteers and our loyal customers.
For our volunteers, we had 154 different people volunteering at some point during the event, not including the people who supplied desserts and drinks. At any given time, over 90 people are working together, from the parking lot to the dining room, making this one of the most amazing examples of how, if we all work together with God, we can accomplish amazing things.
From our customers, we keep getting comments about how well organized we are, how happy everyone is, and just the true feeling of the Holy Spirit that exists within our church. And they always mention how they look forward to it every year. Some even get mad at the end, saying that now they don’t know what they will do for dinner on Fridays.
This is what the Fish Fry is all about, bringing our community together in harmony with each other, and God, to further his work and make the world a little better, one person at a time. I thank all of you for making this happen. I feel completely BLESSED to be a part of this, and to be united with all of you in God. I pray that all of you have a safe and Blessed Easter and look forward to seeing you all again for Fish Fry 2026.

God Bless, 

Captain John
