Easter Sunday was truly a celebration to remember at Northend Church ( .ca ), and Karen’s Catering was honoured to be a part of it!

Serving the entire congregation, along with staff, worship team, and volunteers throughout all four powerful services!

After each service, every church member was invited to gather and enjoy a fresh, warm hot cross bun served with butter and jam, paired perfectly with fresh hot coffee and tea, a beautiful way to bring everyone together in fellowship.

For the hardworking staff, worship team, and volunteers, we made sure they were cared for all morning long, starting with a first-service spread of hard-boiled eggs, creamy yogurt, juicy blueberries, sweet strawberries, fresh grapes, peanuts, granola bars, orange juice, coffee, and tea.

As the second service rolled in, we added in soft hot cross buns, a savory cheese platter featuring marble, cheddar, Swiss, and Gouda, an assortment of crackers, and sweet cantaloupe slices.

By the third service, we kept the momentum going with hearty oven-roasted turkey, Black Forest ham, salami, and slow-roasted roast beef sandwiches on fresh baguettes and wraps, paired with our famous creamy potato salad. To top it all off, we served decadent brownies, classic nanaimo squares, apple squares, and buttery shortbread squares, all made with love by Beamsville Bakery ( ), and celebrated with sparkling fruit juice to honour the powerful message of “He is Risen!”

For the fourth and final service, we replenished sandwiches and fruit so the staff, worship team and volunteers could continue celebrating together with full hearts and full plates.

It was a day full of gratitude, community, and incredible food, and we can’t wait to help you celebrate your next event! Our calendar is filling up fast, so don’t wait, contact Karen’s Catering today to book your special gathering. We’re ready to serve you with excellence, joy, and the perfect menu for any occasion!

On Good Friday, Karen’s Catering had the absolute pleasure of serving the incredible staff, worship team, and volunteers at Northend Church (.ca throughout all three powerful morning services.

We crafted fresh and thoughtful trays that started the day with a nourishing selection of yogurt, juicy blueberries, strawberries, green and red grapes, soft Easter bread, jelly roll, orange juice, hot coffee, and tea to keep spirits lifted and energy flowing.

As the morning progressed, so did our menu; adding oven-roasted turkey and Black Forest ham nestled into warm, freshly baked baguettes and buttery croissants. We included creamy mini Bonne Belle cheese alongside a rainbow of cucumbers, sweet peppers, carrots, and more fruit to refresh and recharge.

And of course, no spread is complete without something sweet: rich brownies, classic Nanaimo bars, apple and date squares, buttery shortbread, and delightful jam-filled cookies, all lovingly made by Beamsville Bakery ( ).

It was a day of nourishment, gratitude, and connection and we’d love to bring that same joy to your next event!

What a truly powerful and meaningful Good Friday service at , where Karen’s Catering had the honour of setting up not one, but seven communion tables for the congregation for both of their services!

It was an incredibly special project that Dan and I poured our hearts into. We handcrafted 3D crosses and added ambient lighting before draping them in black cloth to symbolize the solemn significance of the day. To each cross, we added touches of white flowers and clusters of grapes to complete the spiritual display. On every table, we included a wooden cross marked with blood spots representing the nails, powerful reminders of the sacrifice being commemorated.

Each table was fully prepared with communion essentials: crackers, bread, wafers, and communion cups; ensuring that every person could take part, including those who needed gluten-free options. This was more than just a setup; it was a sacred experience we were so proud to be part of.

If you’re planning a service, community gathering, or any special event that deserves thoughtful, customized presentation and care, reach out to Karen’s Catering today and let us help you bring your vision to life with purpose and heart.

Did you know Karen’s Catering offers more than just our popular grazing tables and beautifully crafted platters?

We were thrilled to be part of a heartwarming surprise lunch this week at for a lovely group of ladies spending the day doing what they love; quilting, laughing, and enjoying each other’s company. The lunch was arranged by one of the ladies’ thoughtful husbands, and we made sure every detail was just right for this special moment.

We served oven-roasted turkey and slow-roasted roast beef sandwiches on our freshly baked sub-style buns—no mayo or ham in sight, as we always accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies to ensure everyone can enjoy their meal without worry.

Alongside the sandwiches, we included a vibrant fruit and veggie tray overflowing with fresh green and red grapes, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and crisp snap peas.

Dips and sauces included ranch, hummus, mustard, and BBQ, something for every palate. And because every gathering needs a sweet treat, we added a few indulgent pieces of Lindt chocolate to finish things off.

This was such a fun one to put together and a great reminder that yes, we cater more than grazing tables! Whether it’s a cozy gathering, a surprise celebration, or a creative day out with friends, we’ve got your back with delicious, customized options.
