Final Day for Sock Collection
Monday, December 8, Narthex, Foyer, or outside the Parish office
Bring pairs of new cotton or wool socks to be given out at our festive Christmas dinner. These socks will make a huge difference to folks who spend a lot of time outside in frigid weather.
Festive Christmas Dinner
Wednesday, December 10, 5 – 7 p.m., 2100 Lakeside Ave., Cleveland
We will provide and serve our annual, festive Christmas dinner at the LMM Men’s Shelter. Last year, our intergenerational crew served over 270 holiday meals at this joyous occasion with traditional Christmas festivities. This year, we’re planning to serve about 300 people. Help by making a casserole or baking sweet treats in advance, or by coming to the dinner to help serve and/or socialize (setup starts about 4/4:30).
Serve Thursday Lunch
