Funeral Dinners
We are reorganizing our small groups and ministries following the re-opening of the building. Please check back for updates.
There are three teams for this ministry. The Funeral Dinner teams will prepare a lunch for 40 people or less. If a family wishes to invite friends and family of over 40 people, a Team will do a reception of cookies and drinks. If a family wishes to bring in a catered lunch, a Team will provide cookies and drinks and serve the food and clean up afterwards. Please call to make plans if you would like a reception, lunch or help with a catered lunch.
