4 Dear Mt. Calvary Family: We will be hosting the fourth, 3 rd Sunday Fellowship Dinner for 2018, which will take place after the 10:00 a.m. service on May 20th. A special thank you to members who participated in the preparation, clean-up, purchases and donations for our April fellowship. The Culinary Ministry will lead this effort, but we are asking others to assist. The cost of the dinner this month will be $12 for fried fish - [Whiting]. The primary purpose of the fellowship dinners is to allow members to relax after church service and fellowship with each other. All proceeds in excess of the cost of the meals will be donated to the church s building fund. To assist with planning and preparations, advance purchases for May can be made on April 29, May 6 and May 13, 2018 outside of the Leon Grant Family Life Center, before and after the morning service. This will help us estimate the number of dinners to prepare. We are hoping that most individuals will purchase meals in advance. We welcome individuals to sit and fellowship with each other, but if you cannot, dinners to go will be available. Tribes may want to consider coming together at this time and having a Tribe Fellowship Dinner in the Leon Grant Family Life Center. The May 20, 2018 meal will consist of fried whiting fish, potato salad, green beans, bread, dessert and beverage (bottled water or soda).
