There will be a meal served on Mon. evenings for students, families and volunteers. These events will take place at the Congregational and Methodist Churches. For more info see Pastor Eric.
We ask that you consider helping in ways of donations for snacks and meals when it is our week to serve, volunteering to help out with the

We give glory to God for being “Available to those around us”.
