For many years, we have helped to welcome new teachers to Franklin County. Because their training now takes place at Franklinton High School, we have delivered a bagged lunch for them to enjoy. Included with the lunch is a letter of welcome and invitation to our church, especially to Open Table, and a Wal-Mart gift card. We normally have from 40-55 new teachers. With support staff included, we typically feed about 100. Our day to serve lunch is Wednesday, August 13th. We would truly like to continue this tradition!
You can help make this a success by helping in any of the following ways:
- If you would like to make a monetary donation, you may place it in the collection plate on Sunday, or leave it in the office. Checks need to be made to LUWF (Louisburg United Women in Faith), and designated "New Teachers." All money collected will be divided equally among the teachers, and gift cards purchased. Donations must be received by Sunday, Aug. 10th.
- If you like to cook, we need 9 batches of Brownies (for dessert), 12 brownies per batch. If you could cut and individually wrap them, that would be fantastic! They are needed by 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, August 12th. Call or text Nancy Fenske (919-495-8193) if you are interested.
- We will meet Tuesday night, August 12th, at 6:30 p.m., in the church kitchen. We will make sandwiches and assemble the bags. With lots of help, it shouldn't take long. Come and join us!
God calls us to welcome the stranger. Let us show these new teachers our LUMC hospitality and caring. Thank you so much for your help and commitment! Louisburg United Women in Faith
