On Sunday, May 3, from 5-7PM, we have planned a Circle of Hope +One Gratitude Dinner, and you are invited. To share our gratitude to our members, donors, volunteers and service leaders, we want to join together as the whole service community to break bread together. We will have entertainment and some brief time to share what is happening in the Mount Tabor community to live out what Jesus asks of us in Matthew 25:35-40: Jesus tells us that when he was hungry, thirsty, and naked, his followers fed and clothed him by helping the vulnerable. He concludes: "Whatever you did for one of the least of these . . . you did for me." If you have questions, please contact Deb at deb.elstad@gmail.com.
"Dinner At Vinnies" service opportunity is Tuesday, May 12th from 4:30-6:30pm at the St Vincent DePaul Dining Hall at the Weigand Center downtown.
