Serenity Church hosts Chef Mark Anthony’s Dinner and a Message

On July 24, 2024, the Serenity Church hosted chef Mark Anthony who does cooking programs on 3ABN and has a program called “The Whole Message” which airs on LLBN, Start Lifestyle TV, Better Health TV, and Good News TV.  Chef Anthony has been a private caterer for big names like Jack Nicklaus, Montel Williams, Jerry Brown, Eddie Murray, and many rock bands.  For the past two years, he served at the Black Hills Health and Education Center in Hermosa South Dakota, where he served as president.

Donna Washington is the health director for Serenity Church and has made it her mission to encourage good health in church members and the surrounding community.  The program started at 6 pm and continued until approximately 8:15 pm.  The fellowship hall was filled with guests and members.  “We were very excited to host this event and very pleased that so many turned out to learn more about how to eat your way to good health,” said Donna.

As Chef Anthony prepared the meal, he shared a message about the benefits of a vegan lifestyle and the importance of eating for your health. He demonstrated how to prepare and cook a vegan breakfast. Afterward, everyone in attendance was able to taste a sampling of the meal.  Vernon Waters, the Pastor of Serenity, said “The meal was quite delicious and simple to accomplish.  Many people left with a desire to know more. As a follow-up, we are planning to launch a new initiative called “Lunch and Learn”.
