teers to help provide meals for the Angels' Watch Shelter now

this ministry since July 1989. We are very much in need of
new members willing to devote one day a year to feed those
in need. We are inviting you to join our volunteers team
and make a significant contribution to help those less fortu-
nate and to grow in your relationship with Christ.
