Christ Church is scheduled to provide and serve a meal at the Miller Avenue Church in Akron next Saturday, April 19, 10-2. We could still use some volunteers to come along and help serve. Also, if you are able to donate 2 dozen hard-boiled eggs or 2 dozens cupcakes for the group to take along, please sign-up on the office bulletin board. You can call the office or contact Sharon if you have any questions.
