MIDLAND, TEXAS - First United Methodist Church is putting a new spin on an old tradition this Sunday with the church's first meal in its "Dinner on the Grounds" series.

"'Dinner on the Grounds' is an old church phrase that describes a time when people brought their own food for church Sunday, and after worship they would 'spread' their covered dishes from home for all to enjoy," senior pastor the Rev. Tim Walker said via e-mail. "This is little modernization that we look forward to."

Sunday, following the 10:45 worship services, members and guests will dine at the church's activities center.
