February, 2016 Supplement
Home Plate Youth Dinner
On Wednesday, February 10th, BFUMC
will be serving dinner at Merlo Station High
School for the Homeplate Youth Services.
Since this is Ash Wednesday, it is the perfect
time, at the beginning of the forty days of Lent,
to volunteer for this critical Mission.
For this meal we are serving baked
potatoes with condiments, a green toss salad
and dressing, cookies and a special valentine
treat. As always milk, juice and water will be
served.
If you would like to join this great
Mission there are sign up sheets in the Fireside
Room on the Bulletin board. Help is needed
with shopping (list will be provided and best
places to shop for quantity amounts). You will
be reimbursed for the amount of monies spent,
or you may donate these items to church.
*Either way private donations will be used
to pay for this meal. There is a place to sign
up to help with the prep work done in the
BFUMC kitchen and then transported to Merlo
Station High School.
Volunteering to help set-up, serve and
clean-up is the most rewarding aspect of this
Mission, since you are face to face with the
youth we are feeding. It is a special reward
and since it so close to Valentine’s Day we are
giving them a special “love” treats.
*Since there are no available funds in the
Missions account, private donations are greatly
appreciated. Also, please note that this year
there will be one Ash Wednesday Service at
the church at 10:00 AM.
