CWJC of Guntersville is starting a new session this week so we really need assistance feeding our Ladies each day. If you, your SS Class or other group would be willing to provide food for one day it certainly would be appreciated. Even if you do not want the hassle of cooking we would appreciate a monetary donation to order something for the Ladies to eat. Our church has been so faithful in assisting CWJC with this request. It allows the Board to use our money for needs other than daily lunches. Thank you for your faithfulness. If interested please call our Meal coordinator Kari Altom at 256-302-0323 for details. ~MaryHinote, CWJC Board
