Potluck Groups
Members from DLUMC meet for a potluck meal and fellowship about once a month. It is a time to get better acquainted with a smaller group of people and share good food and conversation, often about a selected topic of interest. If you are interested in joining/forming a potluck group, please contact the church office at 847-4818 or secretary@dlumc.org.
Angel Food
This ministry connects to people with the hospitality of food. Families in crisis, families with a new baby, older folks who don't cook, people who are/have been ill--these are some of the main targets of this ministry. Both individuals and service groups within the church stock the Angel Food freezer (located in the storage room just off the church entry); food can be accessed by those who need it.
You may donate to Angel Food by cooking or baking for the freezer. Instructions for packaging your food contributions can be found on the freezer door. You may also donate to Angel Food with a check to DLUMC; write "Angel Food" in the memo blank. Inform the church office if you know of anyone who needs some Angel Food.
