 “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:  for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”     Hebrews 13:2

                               Service  to   others is  how  we  serve GOD.
                                                                                        
Members have a servant attitude that will see food service as a way to use our god-giving gifts for building up the body of CHRIST.  All work done through Christ is done with love. 
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same spirit.  There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.  There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same GOD at work.     1 Corinthians 12:4-6          
There are many ways YOU can offer your time and talents to serving the church, in the community and to God.
