Description: MCS is an elementary non-profit (501c3) where every student receives a scholarship to experience a quality private Christian education. They have 25 teachers and staff at MCS this year. We want to provide a boxed lunch on Tuesday, September 17, to encourage them and thank them for giving to the Lord by serving as a teacher or administrator at this school. If you would like to help with the expenses for a boxed meal (approximately $15 each), sign up for one or more teacher meals below. Sharon Windham will contact you to discuss how to send funds. Also, some will be needed to provide tea, lemonade, and ice when the meal is delivered that day. There are slots for that as well. Additionally, we would love for your family, your Sunday School Class, your WMU WOM group, your small group, a group of your friends, your Bible Fellowship Class Care Group, etc., to sign up and cover 1 of the 25 staff at MCS this school year in prayer & friendship. We would love to team you up with a teacher. I will send you a list of some of their “favorite things,” and you can reach out to them throughout the year with texts, calls, “happy,” visits, prayers, etc. Slots are listed for the “team up with a teacher” opportunity. Sharon Windham will contact you with the teacher’s name and favorites list as soon as possible.
