Needed: New Leads Needed for Foyer Groups
If you have planning and organizational skills, this may be the ministry for you!
Foyer Groups are a great way to really get to know people from Calvary. These groups of 8-12 individuals meet once a month for part of the year to share a meal. These meals may be potluck affairs or a gathering at a restaurant; each group decides the format.
We need someone(s) to get this ministry organized for the coming year. If you have planning and organizational skills, this could be a great volunteer opportunity for you. Please reach out to Jan Stringer at janstringer@yahoo.com or Kitty Howell at howellkitty46@gmail.com for more information or to volunteer.
