Kitchen News
We have a new refrigerator in
the kitchen for general church use (located between the oven and the
window). We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that
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 to any group that would like
to use it. If you would like to use the popper, please contact the church
office for a brief orientation. [Note: It will require cleaning after
use].
