The Casserole Ministry is once again in need of help from the many fantastic chefs within our congregation. Casserole containers have been generously donated by Dainielle Lemieux. Now we need folks to sign up to make the meals. We have several recipes that we would like you to try. Each recipe will fill two containers, with some delicious food left over for you to enjoy. If you are interested in participating in our wonderful ministry, please contact Kim Salsberg or Carolyn Kaiser.

Do you know someone in need of a casserole? We'd love to help! Simply contact a member of the clergy; casseroles are ready to go at a moment's notice.  

Our Sunday Fellowship Hours are sponsored by church members. You pick your Sunday, bring in a treat to share and we provide the coffee and other beverages. You could also make a $30.00 donation instead of bringing in the treat. You will receive a reminder call the week before your date. Sign-up sheets are on the bulletin board behind the Whitehall desk. 

Help serve the sponsored meal at the Mary Brennan Inn on Tuesday, May 18th from 10 am to 2 pm (or any portion of that time). Volunteers are needed for preparation, serving and clean-up. Contact Nancy Morreale for more information.
