This church holds many community forums. Thanx for contributing to the community!

Growing up in Buffalo, NY meant that every Friday in Lent, especially Good Friday, was celebrated with a fish fry. With my dad in town this year for Good Friday I looked to google to help me find the closest fish fry that we could attend. I was shocked, but in hindsight not surprised, to learn that a Lenten Fish Fry is mostly a midwest custom, as google was returning results located in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio. Thankfully, I stumbled upon St Simon the Cyrenian Church.
This was a fish fry done right! It was located in the community room of their church, although you could smell the fish frying from 3 blocks away. Walking in the door we were greeted by no less than 5 people who were ridiculously excited that we had stopped in. I am hesitant to go into random churches lest I be harassed about joining or forced into praising Jesus, but there was none of that here. This group was simply throwing a fish fry for the community and were thrilled that the community was stopping by.
We each had 4 pieces of fish, 2 pieces of corn bread, green beans, mac and cheese — the REAL mac and cheese, with real cheese and bread crumbs on top– and a piece of pound cake for $ 8. If you can beat this price for anything anywhere let me know.
The woman in charge told me that they put this on every year, and I guaranteed her that she would see me again on Good Friday 2011.
