Mission Team Serving at Cornerstone
Answering the call to be the hands and feet of Christ out in the world, Rapid City First United Methodist is partnering with Cornerstone Mission to serve meals on the 2nd Tuesday (May 12th), beginning with setup at 4:30 p.m. and serving at 5:30 p.m. We are looking for at least 6 servers for the meals, as well as people to help cook, bake, and coordinate the meal. This is open to anyone who is interested in being part of a team, working together to bring not only a hot, nutritious meal but also the love of Christ to those Cornerstone serves. If this piques your curiosity, reach out to Pastor CC via email at CC@rapidcityfirst.org or by calling 605-201-5549.
