These Lunches are held on the second and fourth
Sabbbaths of each month, right next door in our Church
House. Visitors, even if you didn’t bring a dish to share,
you’re especially welcome to have Fellowship Lunch with us!
A light lunch will be prepared on June 6th for members, guests,
and visitors who will remain and attend the afternoon's seminar
presented by Bro. Rick Hutchinson. Hay stacks will be prepared,
and we will need shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, chopped
onion, sliced olives, salsa, corn chips, tortilla chips, nondairy sour
cream, shredded vegetarian cheese, vegetarian cheese sauce,
canned corn, and vegetarian chili to make it a successful lunch.
We have placed a roster in the foyer for you to sign up for the
menu item(s) that you would like to contribute towards the light
lunch. (Please consider contributing a food item even if you do not
plan to stay and attend the seminar). We ask that you make your
selection(s) by May 30th so that we will know what items will be
needed to make up the menu. If you have any questions, please
contact Sis. Simms.
Your effort towards making this special
luncheon a success is greatly appreciated.
The church board
thanks you in advance for your contributions. God Bless.
