Refreshments
- Thanks to the families of the first communicants who sponsored today’s lunch. We are also grateful to all the families and volunteers who have worked tirelessly over the past few days to beautifully decorate the Sanctuary and the hall in preparation for celebrating our first communicants.We pray to the Lord that these children may be blessed and continue to walk in God’s ways as they grow and flourish in our parish.Inviting everyone on behalf of the families to join the fellowship lunch after the Parish day celebrations
- Note from the refreshment team:
- Refreshments will be served for 30 minutes only and the cleanup will start after. Requesting every one to join the fellowship time as soon as we finish the benediction.
- Requesting everyone to give the one time yearly contribution for the Refreshment. The minimum required contribution is 100 dollars. If you give the amount at the beginning of the year, it will greatly help the team better plan for the year
- We also request everyone—kids and adults alike—to please dispose of used plates, cups, and glasses in the trash cans provided. Leaving them around the parish hall creates extra work for our volunteers, who already dedicate their time to arrange the refreshments, clean up all the plates, coffee makers and other vessels used in the refreshments and make the space ready for the next event. Let’s all do our part to keep the hall clean and reduce the burden on our volunteers and office bearers. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
