volunteers in place...we just need a couple angels willing to step up to the plate and
head their own team. We all know what it is like to have a loved one pass and the last
thing on your mind is the bereavement meal. Please join this wonderful and giving minis-

As the old saying goes “Many Hands ~ Light Work”.
Let’s give to God by donating your time and helping others in one of life’s roughest times.
We are in need of more team leaders! Please call today and say that you will be
one!
