looking to do something a little different for our fellowship meal in the
month of May. In recognition of Mother’s Day, we are asking for all men of
our congregation to prepare the meal (hot & cold dish) and asking for a
few good men (volunteers) to help with setup and cleanup. I was told that
we have done this in the past with success and that the ladies really
enjoyed it. Any men interested in helping out with setup and cleanup can
get in touch with Kevin Swatski or Nelson Gehman for details. Thanks.
