The Sunday night JHM (Junior High Ministry, formerly known as Phaze) and the Wednesday night HSM (High School Ministry) event REACH (formerly known as Amplify) had their kickoffs last week. Our needs for food will look different this year, but there is still a place for YOU to be involved! LIFE groups, Sunday School Classes, individuals, co-workers, friends, or families can work together to provide a meal, desserts only, snacks only, finger foods, take out, pizza, sandwiches, or provide a monetary donation that will provide these items on either Sunday or Wednesday. Each week provides a different type of opportunity, but we will begin the year preparing for 15 students on Sunday and 20 students on Wednesday. You can stay and interact with the students while setting up, serving, and cleaning up or we can do that for you! Clearly marked food can be left in the CLC kitchen by 5:30pm Sunday for the JHM or 6:00pm Wednesday for REACH. Contact Connie Williams at 548-2408 and let her know what you’re interested in providing and she will get you on the calendar. Remember – YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE – she can pair you with others if needed!
You are invited
