The MUSTARD SEED KITCHEN

Feed the Hungry 

 

Starting Saturday, September 25, and on the last Saturday evening of every month, we will be serving hot, nutritious meals to the hungry of downtown Rochester.

 

How can you help? Volunteer your time. We need folks to shop, bake desserts, cook, serve and clean up. Donate: a list of needed items is located on the our congregational bulletin board. Cash donations are also needed to keep this ministry going. For more  information and opportunities to help, check out the Congregational bulletin board across from the rest rooms on the first floor!


Meals on Wheels

Volunteers Needed

 

Every weekday, hundreds of elderly and disabled individuals in Monroe County receive meals from the Meals on Wheels program. Without these meals, many of these individuals would not be able to remain in their home or apartment.

In the city of Rochester, the meals on each route are delivered by a driver and a server. Nearly every day there are insufficient drivers and servers to cover all of the routes, and a volunteer coordinator has to obtain substitute volunteers to cover the shortage. If you can donate one hour per week during the lunch hour, please consider becoming a regular driver or server. If you cannot commit on a weekly basis, please become a substitute volunteer.

To volunteer, call Kim Stubbe at 787-8325.


Altar Flowers

 

The ALTAR for 2010 is posted across from the church office. You are invited to sign up to sponsor Altar Flowers for a Sunday.

Flowers may be in memory of or in honor of someone. Please sign your name on the flower chart for the week you want to sponsor flowers and then fill out a green form (next to the chart) with the information you want to appear in the bulletin and leave the form in the church office. The cost is $50 per week. Kittelberger’s Florist in Webster does our flowers.
