HOLIDAY MEAL PREPARATION EVENT
Trinity Lutheran’s Freezer Meal Ministry Team already is getting into the holiday spirit.
For the second straight year, the Freezer Meal Ministry Team is planning a holiday meal preparation event on Nov. 17 from 9 a.m. to noon in the Fellowship Hall.
Last year, about 20 Trinity Lutheran ChurchSchool families benefited from the holiday meals. This year, the Freezer Meal Ministry Team would like to double that amount.
To make that possible, they need your help.
Members of the Freezer Meal Ministry Team are asking that you – first and foremost – pray for the preparation event and the families that are in need.
Secondly, they ask, if you are available, to provide ingredients and supplies – stay tuned for a sign-up form for what is needed - for the preparation event.
And finally, to take part in the meal preparation on Nov. 17.
In addition to the holiday meal planning, Trinity’s Freezer Meal Ministry Team has been very busy, providing meals to those who are in need. In total, more than 700 individual meals have been provided in the past 14 to 15 months.
If you would like to learn more about the Freezer Meal Ministry Team or you are interested in helping with the meal preparation on Nov. 17, contact Annette Casad at
casadelcasad@hotmail.com
.
If you know of someone or a family that maybe in need of a meal, you can reach out to a Trinity faculty member.
