Meals Needed
|
Paul Newhouse, one of our parishioners and church leaders, recently received a difficult cancer diagnosis. In addition to our prayers, Paul and his husband Ray are in need of a couple of meals per week for the next three months. If you’re interested and available to prepare a few, simple meals to the family, please contact Allison Bradford: [email protected] She's coordinating dates for pick up/drop off as well as provide meal suggestions within their dietary restrictions. Thank you for your generosity & support to this wonderful couple at Catalina.
