Mission Outreach

Page Under Construction- Updates to come!
 
 
In cooperation with Interchurch, our church has taken on a new mission---take out meals.  Interchurch supplies the families, and we supply the meal.  The meal consisits of a spaghetti casserole, bag of salad, jar of applesauce and a dessert.  Interchurch hands out dinner vouchers to 5 families.  The family keeps half the voucher and the other half is given to Kathy Toms.  This allow us to know how many to cook for. At the end of the month, usually the fourth Monday, a group of 3 or 4 prepare the meal.  The spaghetti casseroles are put in the freezer.  Then on the fourth Wednesday, the family comes to the church with their voucher between 5-6 p.m. to pick up their meal.  They are sent home with a casserole, bag of salad, jar of applesauce and a dessert.  If you are interested in donating or helping with this mission, please contact Kathy Toms.
