At Florence we have a tradition of making TAMALES for the Mennonite Central Committee Relief Sale each September.
Thanks to Maria Montoya, we have learned how to make authentic Mexican tamales. Once again, we were glad to SELL OUT! Yea, Tamale Team!
In a new twist this year, the ANABAPTISM 101 SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS wrote PANTOUM POEMS REFLECTING ON SERVICE.
Can you guess who wrote each one?
TAMALES #1
“These are grass fed organic chicken tamales.”
The steaming pot full of them just sitting on the stove top.
The aroma soon filled the air.
“Do you eat the husk?”

“Can I get them to go?”

The smiles on people’s faces when they took the first bite.

TAMALES #4
Serving people hot tamales as they smile once they eat them.
Enjoying the time of making tamales with each other.
Being part of it.
Seeing people coming from many places.
