Amen.

TASK Lunches


Many thanks to all those who have helped make sandwiches, pack lunches, supply food items and funds this summer. On August 21, we prepared 80 meals and sent some extra juice and snacks to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. I estimate that we’ve provided over 400 meals these past 3-months.


We will not be continuing this service for the time being. We look forward to resuming this ministry in the future.
