Funeral Dinners/Meals for the Sick Ministry

• Over 40 people make up the team for preparing and serving funeral dinners and meals for the sick at Risen Christ.

• In most cases, committee members are called and asked to provide a food item for a funeral reception held at the parish social hall. Occasionally a parish family is in need of meals to be delivered to their home over a short period of time.

• We are called upon occasionally throughout the year, usually with just a day or two to organize. Months may go by without members being called, or members may be asked to help twice in one month. The timing is unpredictable.

• Families or individuals usually contact us through the parish office, parish nurses, or a parishioner who knows of their need.

• We do not hold meetings or issue a schedule, but we are recognized as a functioning and important parish ministry.

• We are always open to new members. If you or someone you know is interested in joining this team, please sign up today or consider signing up at the next ministry sign-up Sunday to be held later this spring.

• If you or someone you know is now or will be in need of our help in the near future, please let us know. Contact Nancy Tacke, 378-1474.
