Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with a reminder as we prepare for Wayne Chapman’s memorial reception on Saturday, April 11. This email is going to those who have already reached out and offered to assist; however, as we often see, many in our church family also step in to help with setup, cleanup, and bringing side dishes even if they did not sign up in advance—and that support is always appreciated.

As a church family, we come together in this time of loss to support the Chapman family, sharing in their grief while also celebrating Wayne’s life and the impact he had on all of us.

**Friday 4/10 (Preparation – 2:00 PM)**

Penny Allen, Linda Guest, Vickie Smith, David Gum, Mike Braswell, Gerry Thrasher, Cathy Ruley, and Myrna Grove

**Saturday 4/11 (Setup, Serving & Cleanup – starting at 9:30 AM)**

Susan Etherington, Robin Kent, Myrna Grove, Jennifer Mucklow, and Lynne Steptoe, Gerry Thrasher, Mike Braswell, and (after the service) Cathy Ruley and Linda Guest

**Food Contributions:**

* Fried Chicken & Ham – will be purchased

* Potato Salad – Lisa Miller

* Macaroni Salad – Linda Guest

* Veggie Tray – Pat McMillian

* Fruit Tray – Robin Kent & Susan Etherington

* Green Beans – Cathy Ruley

* Rolls – Myrna Grove

* Brownies/Cookies/Finger Desserts – Robin Kent, Laura Beauchamp, Susan Etherington, Myrna Grove, Penny Allen, and Sharon, Kim Shives

Thank you all for your willingness to help and support the Chapman family during this time. If you have any questions, we missed something, or need to make adjustments, please let us know.
