Dear Mt. Calvary Family: We will be hosting the third, 3 rd Sunday Fellowship Dinner for 2018, which will take place after the 10:00 a.m. service on April 15th. A special thank you to members who participated in the preparation, clean-up, purchases and donations for our March 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 barbecue chicken - [White or Dark]. 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 April can be made on March 25 and April 8, 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 April 15, 2018 meal will consist of barbecue chicken, collard greens, yams, corn bread, dessert and beverage (bottled water or soda). For additional information or to volunteer, please contact Shirley Johnson at 240.899.5633 or Brenda Shelton at 301.680.7920. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORDER FORM PLEASE PRINT Name Phone Number # of Dinners Meal Cost $12 each Barbecue Chicken White Breast & Wing Barbecue Chicken Dark Leg & Thigh Amount Due Special Instructions: Date Received: Amount Due: Amount Paid: Received By:
