Many of you consistently drop off stuff and I do not know who does it... If you are not named above please remind me with a note...
We have a pastoral council retreat on Saturday also... starting at 9 AM... If anyone is able to help finish off the duties of putting things away and cleaning up the room I would appreciate it... Each month it works out so well... this month I will need to leave just as we are wrapping it up.
The Hardings are taking lunches to Baltimore... can we get a commitment for the Frederick delivery?
Thank you all for your help and support... this ministry is truly a ministry of multiplication of the loaves and fishes.
Peace.

February lunches amazing
Update on last week's lunchmaking... Over 40 children, youth and adults stopped in to help make lunches for those in need in Baltimore and Frederick... we made over 150 additional sandwiches and 500 lunches... We added Chapsticks for several hundred of the lunches. Valentines cards made by our youth added a nice warm connection. Check out the picture below for a nice idea of the contents of the lunches we make each month (3rd Saturday).
Join us in March on the 15th as a great way to begin Holy Week!If you would like to donate lunchmeat or desserts, or Chapstick, or make Easter cards... all are welcome, just leave a comment.
