participation in the love andserveportion of Wednesday Night!

We are now offering our Wednesdaynight meal at 5:30p and all of our guestsfrom Room In The Inn are nowparticipating in eating dinner with us.Even with charging $5.00 a plate forchurch members, it does not come closeto paying for the cost of catering theevening meal. We are looking forindividuals, small groups, Bible Study

classes, etc. to sponsor the Room In TheInn portion of the Wednesday Nightmeal. The cost of sponsorship for onemeal is $80.00 - this will cover meals forthe Room In The Inn guests.

There are other ways to participate inWednesday night dinner!- Sponsor a course! (prepare or pay for

one of the courses of the meal)- Sponsor the entire meal!

If you would like to help out with anyfacet of the Wednesday night dinner,please contact the church office TODAY!

We are also generally lacking in offeringto provide the typical weekly breakfastand sack lunches for our Room In The Innguests. Again, this is a great ministryopportunity for a small group or class tobe involved with together. Please call thechurch office or sign up on the bulletinboard by the Fellowship Hall.
