The idea of dining with God becomes a reality on Thursday, April 26, at Bystillwaters Bistro, 112 Vine St.

Heather Cox, Bistro owner, plans an open house with demonstrations and food sampling on that theme.

“On April 26, we will offer all authentic food typical of what Jesus may have eaten in the first century,” she said.

Cox asks that persons interested in attending should RSVP to 567-242-2284, or stop in the Bistro. Sample servings take place from 6 to 8 p.m. with a food demonstration at 6:30 p.m.

The evening is free, and donations are accepted.
