Volunteer to Provide Home-Cooked Meals

Do you like to cook? Use these skills and give back to the community by joining Angels on Call, which provides home-cooked meals to Fourth Church families who have recently welcomed a baby or who are recovering from surgery.
A ministry organized by the Deacons at Fourth Church, Angels on Call offers the gift of a meal as an extension of God's grace and as a sign of love and connection during these times in life when it can be challenging to prepare meals.
To learn more about this volunteer opportunity, contact Judy Watt, Associate Pastor for Pastoral Care (312.573.3360).
