Exercise & Good Works Workout

We are most thankful to those who have responded.  It would be nice to establish one more person /  couple to assist with table set-up and take down from time to time as needed (mostly for funeral lunches).  One or two people, about a 1/2 hour or less and timing is pretty flexible.  If you would consider helping out at the church in this way, please give us a call, or send an email to info@holyfamily.ca.
