Mother’s Day Tea benefit
How would you like to enjoy a traditional English “High Tea” and, at the same time, help feed hungry people? The T.A.M.E. (That All May Eat) Ministry at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church in Daleville is sponsoring a gourmet Mother’s Day Tea on Saturday, May 7. Proceeds from sales support projects to help the food-insecure in the community and the world. You may either dine-in at the church, or place the order for take-out if preferred.
Each High Tea box will contain two savory sandwiches, a white chocolate cranberry scone with Devonshire cream, a chicken salad croissant, two desserts, and an assortment of teabags. To place an order, go on the church website at www.stmarksmethodist.com or call the church office at 540-992-3030. Deadline for ordering is Tuesday, May 3.
You will pay for your tea boxes at the time of pick up. The cost is as follows: 1 box, $20; 2 boxes, $36; 3 boxes, $48; or 4 boxes for $60. If you get more than four boxes, the price will be $15 each. If you were to go out for a High Tea, you would pay $20-$50 or more, so by ordering from the church, you get a bargain while helping to feed the hungry.
