The annual Good Samaritan Ministries’ Easter Banquet will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, April 24 at the Beadel Dining Hall on the Howard Payne University campus.

Don Green and the staff of Sodexo will prepare an all-you-can-eat buffet that will satisfy palettes of all ranges and ages.

Cost is only $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 5 to 13.

“The Easter Buffet is a wonderful tradition in the community and we love to see families come together and join us for lunch after their church services,” said Angelia Bostick, executive director of Good Samaritan Ministries. “You’d pay $10 almost anywhere you go to eat so it’s really a bargain to have so many choices of food prepared by Sodexo.”

In addition, the staff and board members of GSM will be serving as hosts and hostesses at the event.
