March Community Dinner

March 25 at 5pm.

March Community Dinner will be on March 25th. The British Beer Company will be partnering with us again to bring us their signature shepherd's pie and wonderful rustic bread. We still need help with donations and preparing desserts. This month's menu is carrot ginger soup, Shepherd's Pie with country bread and gingerbread with lemon sauce. Sign up sheets will be in the Narthex. Thank you for your continued support and generosity.   

Food Pantry Donations   
For the month of March, St. Luke's is responsible for helping at the Scituate Food Pantry. We would appreciate if you brought food donations to Sunday services in March. Food will be brought up at the offertory. Sign up sheets for volunteers will be in the narthex.
Senior Luncheon Desserts
It is St. Luke's turn to furnish the dessert for the senior luncheons at the Congregational Church on Country Way. We are to provide enough dessert for 60 people each Thursday in March. If people work in pairs, each person will only need to make enough for 30. The prefer to have the dessert the same on any given day. There is a sign up sheet in the narthex.
 The desserts need to be delivered to the Congregational Church at 10 am on your sign up date. If this is a problem, please contact Eleanor Waterman at 781-545-2079.
  
Appalachian Service Project
We would like to send forth our most sincere thanks to those who supported sending our teens on their service mission trip to West Virginia this summer. We will bring the love of Jesus to the families we serve.
With thanks,
