A Great Family Activity - Join the Brown Bag Lunch Team!

Huge thank you to everyone who brought lunches again for John Street Bridge! We’re going to keep this going each week, and ask you once again to use Sign-Up Genius. If you can’t do it every week - no problem, there seems to be good demand for this meaningful effort that helps so many folks in need of a nice lunch. I enlisted my teenage boys to help last week, and they said it really made them feel good to be able to help with an activity like this. It’s a great family activity!   Please  CLICK HERE   to sign up for this Saturday, May 16,  or another one in the future.   Drop off is still Saturday, 12-5 at the church.  CLICK HERE  for the 1-2-3 instructions.
