OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE -HELP NEEDED
MONTCLAIRE SUMMER SUPPERS - Montclaire School has 97% of its population receiving free breakfast and lunch. During the summer these children will not be getting these meals. The missions conunittee and others have felt a call to feed these children and their families one meal a week for 10 weeks this summer beginning with June 17tb. The Principal of Montclaire School is working closely with us and is notifying the families of Montclaire about the s~ppers. The wonderful part is that everyone can help in many different ways. Here are some ways: prepare and serve food. be a greeter, set up and take down tables and chairs, wash dishes, and clean up the FLC and kitchen following the meal. Individuals and groups are encouraged to sign up for specific dates on the bulletin board across from the Church office. To find out more see Beverly Brown. Karen Harris, Mary Jean Hodges, Ruth Mauldin, Pam Bame, Charlene Simpson or Pat Smathers. Specific food items that we need for the first two weeks are hamburger buns, spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, salad dressing (Ranch or Italian only), parmesan cheese, and cookies. Donations may be left on the cart in the Narthex or in the FLC. We also have a special need for some men to help with clean up in the kitchen.
