Get involved with the kitchen ministry

The Chapelwood Kitchen is one place where there can never be too many cooks in the kitchen!

The Kitchen Ministry is back in high gear and ready to serve the congregation in a variety of ways. The Pantry Team has already begun cooking and the freezer is stocked with delectable goodies to go, including casseroles, breads, soups, etc! Members are urged to buy the freezer's affordable offerings ($4-$7 per dish) to bring food to other members who have a new baby, have returned home from the hospital, moved to a new home or are shut-in for a long period of time. Veteran kitchen worker Marty Shroff said, "We want the congregation to use the pantry for outreach within the congregation."
