Come and enjoy a great meal with family and friends! This year we welcome a new Wednesday Night Dinner Team and are seeking volunteers to join us. This team plans the menu, orders and preps food for the serving teams, and offers a great meal to our congregation.
Volunteering is easy and simple--even a couple hours a week is a huge help. We are seeking 3-5 more volunteers to help with various preparation duties on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. If you would like to help with our delicious Wednesday dinners, please contact
