any items left in the refrigerator need to be marked with name and date,
otherwise these items will be regularly thrown away. We encourage you to
donate any leftover food to our participating shelters listed in the
kitchen.
If you’re planning to use the kitchen let the church office know so we can put
your group on the calendar. This will help with coordinating our cleaning
crew each week as they graciously work around church events.
Cooking for a large group and need help knowing how much food to
purchase? We now have a kitchen resource, “Food for Fifty,” that will
help with these questions. There are also many recipes to look at as
well. This can be checked out through the church office.
Thank you to Circle 4 for the donation of a popcorn popper! This is open

popper, please contact the church office for a brief orientation. [Note:
It will require cleaning after use].
