Hi All,

We have had the wonderful opportunity to volunteer with Bread and Loves at St Stephen's Church twice this past year.

If you are interested in volunteering again, please complete the survey linked in this email (hope it worked). We need at least 8-10 people per session.

I will contact St. Stephen's and check to see when they might need assistance. If there is enough interest, I will schedule two dates.

On the form, you can indicate the dates you are available, and whether you would be interested in volunteering two Sundays.

You need a google account to complete the survey. I haven't used this before, so I hope it works.

With metta,

Scott
