During the Lenten season, Zion Lutheran Church in Portland is offering a midweek meal series, Wednesday evenings, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Week 4: Bangladesh – and the story of “Salma” and her husband “Ali” who did not have enough food to feed their children, who often went hungry. The two cows they now have make a big difference in the life of this family. The meal for the evening will include bhorta (mashed potatoes) and biryani and tiler nahu (sesame seed balls).
The public is welcome to attend any or all of these events, sample global cuisine and learn about the ELCA World Hunger program.
