Since they began, the cost of our First Monday Suppers has been $7.00 per plate Unfortunately, due to the rising cost of food, the price of these meals will increase by $1.00 to $8.00 per dinner, beginning Monday, July 6th. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. This past week I hired Michelle Lemoine as our DRE (Director of Religious Education), beginning Monday, July 6th. Initially, Michelle will be responsible for grades 1-6 on Wednesday evenings. She will also be directing VBS (Vacation Bible School) for next summer. Thank you to Deborah Bess for her willingness to provide religious education leadership until Micelle was hired.
