We Ran Out of Brats!

Fall in Alabama means cooler weather, football, and--in Cullman--Oktoberfest. For two weeks the town is transformed as it celebrates its German heritage.

As part of these festivities, Christ Lutheran has prepared and hosted a traditional German meal for several years.  This year was no exception.

The circumstances were exceptional this time, of course.  Gas grills and tents took the place of our fellowship hall and kitchen.  Hot dogs, brats, chips and Cokes were on the menu.

Our pastor, Sandy Niiler, led us in the blessing.

And we didn't have long to wait before the crowds came.

An assembly line quickly formed:  grillers grilled, wrappers wrapped, servers served:

Did I mention the crowds?

We even had a visit from the Burgurmeister!

The festivities lasted until dark....and we ran out of brats!

Thank you to all who came out and supported us--and thank you, too, if you're reading this, for your continued prayers.
