A sign-up sheet is in your LJG folder again today. As a class, please be sure to choose at least 3 events and 1 will be selected for your group to support. Typical duties would involve: setting the tables with appropriate decorations and utensils, serving food, and some food prep (ex: slicing desserts, etc.). This usually involves 2-3 hours of your time. Several events have already been "adopted." Thanks to everyone for helping in this ministry!
Wednesday Supper Reservations: We encourage all of our members who eat Wednesday Night Supper to make a reservation by Noon on Tuesday. If you are on the permanent list please call the church office or fill out the form on the Sunday bulletin on the weeks that you will NOT be attending. We encourage families whose schedules are less predictable, due to work or other activities, to make a weekly reservation rather than staying on the permanent list. If you are on the permanent list and haven't been attending regularly, please consider calling in each week instead. This will help LBC to remain a good steward of our resources by preparing the proper amount of food without having excess or shortage. Please inform the church office of your decision by calling 288-3824. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
