Friday Mission Lunch
Each Friday, the Mission Lunch Program provides a free, cooked lunch at the host church (American Cathedral, 23 avenue George V, Paris 8e) to those in need. ACP organizes the lunch on the second Friday of each month, but volunteers are needed every week for cooking, serving and cleaning-up. Contact:

The boxes will be collected at the Love in a Box table on Dec. 7, 15 and 21 at the coffee after services. Contact Person: Arlene Gross
