Argentine Food Kitchen
On the first Tuesday of each month a core group of six to eight dedicated volunteers spend their time preparing a hot, home-cooked meal, serving to the ever increasing numbers of guests and washing up the dishes, pots and pans. In addition to the regulars, various Sunday School classes take on the responsibility of helping to prepare parts of the meal ahead of time in our church kitchen. Country Club Christian has become known as making the best Taco Salad around! Last year the average number of people served was 150. This year that average has grown to 250. If you would like to join this group, either as a regular or periodically, call Jane Fletcher for more information.

Sticker Club
Did you ever wonder how the Christian newsletter goes from the press to the post office? One of the most labor intensive tasks is to affix the white stickers onto the newsletter to keep it closed during the trip through the post office. Our biweekly volunteers respond to the call from Joyce Harwood and spend a couple of hours at the church. They not only “sticker”, but laugh, chat and generally have a great time. Contact Joyce Harwood if you would like to help, 816-333-4917 or joyceh@cccckc.org.
