St. Stephens Luthern Church Outreach Programs
Many thanks to the people who prepared and brought food and to those who went along and helped serve at the St. John's dinner last month. This ministry could not be a success without you. THANKS!
We served approximately 100 people again last month. The recipients express great appreciation for what they were receiving and sent back many thanks to our workers and cooks.
