NATIONAL AHEPA DAY CELEBRATION
Christ has risen! It is a time of celebration. Sir Walter Raleigh AHEPA Chapter #10 would like to invite our community to come and celebrate National AHEPA Day on May 19th after Church in the fellowship hall. We will be hosting a luncheon to honor our seniors {65+} and veterans. The meal will be: spaghetti, meatballs, home-made sauce, garlic bread, salad, apple cobbler, and coffee/tea/water. We will only charge $5 for adults & kids and only $3 for seniors & veterans. There will be a limited number of tickets! Please purchase your tickets this Sunday. Thank you for supporting us and honoring our seniors and veterans!
KITCHEN MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
The Kitchen Management Committee met to establish guidelines to ensure proper use and cleaning of our kitchen and equipment. Each organization/individual who uses the kitchen for ministry use, meetings, coffee hour, etc will be asked to designate a point of contact. This individual will receive detailed instructions for how each area of the kitchen should be cleaned. For your convenience a checklist will be provided and should be completed and returned to the office. All use of the kitchen should be scheduled through the office and included on the church calendar. If you are interested in joining our committee, please contact Mary Wehbie at maryellen.wehbie@gmail.com. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and clean kitchen!
Greek Festival 2019 Volunteer Kickoff Luncheon Sunday June 2nd
Please join us for the 2019 Greek Festival volunteer kickoff luncheon after services on Sunday June 2nd.
We offer this free luncheon to thank everyone who volunteered last year and start signing up volunteers for this September! Due to the continued growth in attendance we need to sign up even more volunteers. We are asking for college groups or corporations to consider sending a team to work a couple of three hour shifts as part of their community service and to support all the wonderful organizations that benefit from the Festival.
If interested, please contact Stacey Armistead or Dori Riley at stacey.armistead@duke.edu or dori.riley@gmail.com for more details
CCCM INVITES ALL
Everyone is invited to join us on May 26th in the library after Divine Liturgy for a meeting in which we will be discussing plans for the completion of the Church garden, relevant speakers to address the Church community, large-scale composting, and other environmental issues affecting our community. Anyone interested in listening to CCCM's plans and/or providing input is urged to attend
