OPPORTUNITES TO BE AN EVANGELIST FOR GOD

These people volunteer to prepare the food for the 10-week Alpha Courses. A team of two per twenty people would be needed. (eg if we had 40 participants, we would have four volunteers per team.) We would hope to get enough volunteers that each person would only be responsible for one or two nights.
