LAZARUS COMMITTEE
Holy Family Parish is so lucky to have a group of volunteers who provide lunch for
grieving families after funerals. Perhaps you used this service or attended one. You
know then, how helpful a service this is to the family who lost a loved one.
BUT WE NEED A LITTLE HELP
JUST A LITTLE…… Maybe that is where YOU ARE MEANT TO BE
Could you help serve at a funeral luncheon? (when you are available - free to decline if busy)
Could you bake something for desert for a funeral? (cake, cookies, your specialty ?)
(again, free to decline if busy)
This is what we are asking for:
We need people we could call on to do this great service WHEN NEEDED.
Can we add your name? PLEASE
This does not happen weekly or even monthly.
