Fishes and Loaves
Wednesdays from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Fishes and Loaves began in 2010 when a couple of active families decided they needed to have more time around the dinner table together. Since the 2020 pandemic, meals are served in a drive-thru fashion under the church's carport. If you are interested in a meal, let us know via the Fishes and Loves Facebook group.
