HOME DELIVERED MEALS
ARC is responsible for serving Home Delivered Meals during the month of September. To volunteer, please choose a date from the calendar on the table in the lobby. Meals are picked up at Generations, 319 E. Lincoln St, Luverne at 11:30 AM and local delivery usually takes about an hour.
ARC is assigned the month of August to help replenish the local Food Shelf. Pick up a list of most needed foods or a grocery bag with the list attached at the table in the lobby. Cash donations are also welcome. You may bring your donations to the church or drop them at the east door of the new Food Shelf location, 208 W. Maple St., Luverne
MEAL TRAIN
Craig & Brittany Larsen welcomed triplets into their family on July 8. A Meal Train has been set up to provide meals for them during this busy time in their lives. The Meal Train instructions and sign up can be accessed at www.mealtrain.com/z0z1me. If you would like to provide a meal but are not computer savvy, contact the church office and Vicki or Erin will assist you.
KITCHEN PROJECT UPDATE
The kitchen remodeling project is almost complete and final bills have been received. Thank you to Cleveringa Construction, Country Cupboards, Busse Plumbing/Heating, Jensen Electric, Frieda’s Painting, and Family Flooring & Furniture for their great work! Also thank you to the congregation for your faithful giving. We are approximately $17,000 short of having the project paid for. Please give generously in the next several weeks so we can avoid financing the remainder of this project. Place your gift in an envelope designated for the Kitchen Fund and place in the offering plate or bring to the church office, or donations can be made online at www.arcluverne.org/give/ and select Kitchen Project.
