Service Club Activity

Our monthly service project will be held on Tuesday, October 26th. We have planned to put some freezer meals together for a few sisters in need. Sometimes it’s just nice to have something tucked away in a cold place when one needs a hot meal. Please meet in the church kitchen on Tuesday at 2 pm. We should be done no later than 3.


Please email me at arnovick1696@msn.com if you plan to attend. We would love your help with this great cause.

Thank you!!
