It takes a lot of food to keep Christian Reformed Church synod delegates happy. Three hundred pounds of pork at Saturdayās picnic. Ten gallons of scrambled eggs every morning. Two-hundred-forty desserts per coffee breakāall gone, every time.
In fact, delegates to the annual leadership meeting eat about twice as much per person as Dordt College students do, according to the collegeās executive chef, Nick Lawrence.
The good news is that synod delegates also consume twice as many vegetables per capita when compared to the collegeās students. āYou guys are eating more vegetables than I expected,ā said Lawrence. āI had to put in an extra order.ā
Synod 2015 is meeting at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa, from June 12-18. For continuous Banner coverage, please follow The Banner Magazine on or on Twitter.
