Greetings sons & daughters of God. He is calling out for your help. Can you hear him? We are in the process of restarting our funeral lunches. For many, many years, Inez Pochyla led a group of volunteers in serving families after a loved one’s funeral by providing a complimentary funeral luncheon. Inez, along with Linda Dunphey, Joan Townsend, Rita Janovits, Rose Marie Coy, Robin Munson, Sue Czuk, Sandy Edwards, Brenda Panone and Bertha Lyndsey, have regularly worked the funeral lunches. (Please forgive us if we missed your dedicated time, talent or meals.) They were assisted over the years with different volunteers who worked the luncheon or made a dish to share at the luncheon. We are so very grateful for their dedication to this beautiful ministry. Restarting the funeral lunches will take many hands. Many of our former volunteers are older and are no longer able to continue with this ministry. As they retire from serving the Lord in this capacity, Brenda Panone and Sandy Edwards have graciously stepped up to assume the role that Inez served for so many years, but they need help. We are in need of parish support in order to kick this off and keep it going. We are bringing back the luncheons, but they will be done slightly different than in the past. Are you interested in occasionally being emailed or called on to donate a commercially prepared salad, dinner rolls, garlic bread, casserole what ever the need may be for that specific luncheon? With COVID, we need everything to be commercially processed when you purchase it. You could pick up something at your local grocery store, bakery etc. If you don’t hear God calling you for that part of the ministry, are you interested in working the funeral luncheon? You will need to wear a mask, and you will make the drinks, serve up the food, and clean up following the meal. If you are too busy for helping in person, please consider donating financially to support the luncheon. With gratitude to everyone who has helped in the past and those of you who are open to helping in the future, may God Bless you. If you would like to assist in this ministry in any way please reach out to Marianne at[email protected] or call 327-5165.
