While enjoying our lunch, we  will  listen to speakers who will present
a variety of topics and various entertainment. 

 As you enter the Leisure Ministries Building on Wednesdays, you can pay for lunch which is served  in our dining room. A delicious hot lunch including dessert and iced tea will be available for $12.00.  The menu will be listed in the weekly Shepherd’s Staff,
both for that day as well as next week.

Because the lunches are catered, we need to know the number to prepare, so we request that payment is made a week in advance. Unfortunately, there will be no refunds since we must pay the caterer for all meals ordered, nor will the payment for an unclaimed
meal roll over to a future one.

You are welcome to bring your own lunch if you would like.

Please help yourself to the tea or water on the front tables.
