THANKS SUNDAY SCHOOL
More...

By Jean McHenry

The Sunday School took up a collection at their Christmas party on 18 December. $500 was collected and given to the Christian Assistance Program (CAP) to help feed the poor in our community. We also thank members who have donated food so faithfully to CAP. Without your generous help we could do nothing!

For the month of January we will emphasize donations of pasta and pasta sauces.

Training will be provided, and we promise to double your sal-ary every year! Contact Steve Mencik at 410-672-5859 or steve@mencik.com
