I grew up going to church every Sunday morning for Sunday School and "big church," every Sunday evening for youth group and every Wednesday evening for Wednesday night suppers and youth choir or bell choir practice. Even back then, Wednesdays were the highlight for me. Not because of bell practice, where we would annoy our director, Jim, to the point of apoplexy (although that was fulfilling in its own way), but because of the supper. Talk about a groaning board. Foods were jumbled together on long trestle tables covered with thin white tissue paper tablecloths. They were more or less arranged by "course:" salads (gelatin and otherwise), pasta and potato salads, main courses, vegetables, breads and then desserts.
My mother's casserole supreme made frequent visits to the Wednesday night suppers, and I can remember being more than a little annoyed if, when it was my turn, the casserole was gone. As much as I loved it when someone would bring chili or baked beans or casserole supreme, I was pretty just there for the desserts.
Yay, desserts! Bring on the Cherry Yum Yum!
