On January 29th (5th Saturday) the RLC Team of 18 people prepared and served over 200 meals for about 120 people in downtown Fredericksburg at The Presbyterian Church. 19 pans of lasagna, gallons of grean beans, and four pounds of spaghetti when we ran out of everything else! Well done to all involved in this growing ministry!!!

| Got Green Beans? |
The cupboards were almost bare when we left The Presbyterian Church Saturday evening, January 29th after serving 120 people a lasagna dinner. Ten adults and 8 youth from Resurrection Lutheran cooked and served the meal that was free to low income and homeless members of our community. We also were able to provide 46 bagged lunches, 52 meals in carry out boxes and 8 meals that were sent to the Micah Respite House.
When 19 large pans of lasagna ran out we made spaghetti for our guests. When our supply of pasta, sauce, and green beans was depleted we raided the Presbyterian Church's cupboards. If you would like to support this ministry, we would gladly accept donations of spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, and restaurant size cans of green beans which can be placed in a box in the narthex. Your gifts will restock The Presbyterian Church's cupboards. Thank you!
Primary funding for these meals is provided by Thrivent Financial. If you would like to become involved, please contact Gail Taylor at 786-5031. The next 5th Saturday meal will be held on April 30th.
