Bringing the community together

Pharr Chapel United Methodist Church hosted the annual Good Friday community fish fry at Morgan City's Lawrence Park.

The event was free and open to all. The Rev. Joy Comeaux of Pharr Chapel said 50 volunteers worked beginning at 5 a.m. to prepare 800 meals. The main course was 300 pounds of catfish donated by Garber Brothers Inc.

The fish fry, which followed a Stations of the Cross re-enactment at the park, was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. By 10:45 a.m., more than 70 people were in line.

"We do this to reach out to our community and show God's love and bring the community together," Comeaux said.
