EVERYONE is invited – it is NOT based on need. It is a time to come together as neighbors and share a meal. There are still many opportunities for all of our members to help throughout the month…* cooks * servers * clean up helpers * food items donations * If you are interested in helping, please sign up on the kiosk in the Narthex or contact Barb Paynter. COMMUNITY LUNCH FLYERS need to be distributed around Lititz. If you are willing to take a flyer to hang at a local business (grocery store, laundromat, bank, etc), please take a flyer(s) from the table in the narthex. The more flyers that are displayed, the more people we can inform of this valuable new ministry. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus as we reach out and serve our community!
