SHARED MEAL MINISTRY… Every Fourth Monday Evening, at 6:00 p.m., Langhorne UMC welcomes anyone who comes by to share in a hot meal and fellowship. Some of those who attend the community meal are the homeless, some are living on the margins, and others simply come to share in the fellowship. Our next Shared Meal will be Monday, May 26th, at 6:00 p.m. We are asking the congregation to bring a cooked meat loaf, boxes of instant mashed potatoes, cans of regular cut green beans, brown gravy, mixed dinner rolls and finger desserts (i.e., brownies, cookies, cupcakes, cookie bars). We will also need volunteers to prepare the meals, set up tables, serve the meals, clean up after the meals, and package the leftovers.
