The 7th Anniversary Celebration is set for Easter Sunday at 3 pm. There is still a need for backpacks; Pastor Gadsden plans to distribute 450. Volunteers are needed to prepare and bring food for the meal. The menu will be a standard holiday meal - ham, turkey, or chicken, potatoes, sweet potatoes, mac 'n cheese, vegetables, bread, desserts, and beverages. If you are able to contribute, please go to the "Contact Us" page for details. Volunteers are also needed to help serve the meal, and to offer Christian fellowship and caring. Thank you and God bless!
