The full menu includes Swedish meatballs, lutefisk, boiled potatoes, meatball gravy, coleslaw, cranberries, lefse and ice cream.

Olson said last year the dinner had about 550 attendees and brought in about $7,700 in the church’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Funds are spent on youth activities and other programs.

The proceeds from the dinner, support Bible camper trips, while other funds go to the Jamestown Salvation Army, helping with holiday food baskets.

Trinity van is maintained used for a variety of services, such as giving taxi rides to members who don’t drive so they can get to church.

Most of the proceeds from the dinner are used for outreach.
