OCT 26 MEDIA RELEASE__St. Mark Lutheran Church will be serving up its last community meal for 2025 this Wednesday, October 29, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m., or whenever we run out.  The church is located at the corner of Lincoln and Johnson in Ada. 

The meal is free and open to the public.  This month's menu consists of meatloaf, corn, scalloped potatoes, fruit and a cookie.  As always, you may dine in, carry out, or drive up for curbside service. 

We ask that if you require more than eight meals per car, you call the church at 419-792-0911 before noon on Tuesday, so that we can be better prepared to serve as many as possible.
