Caring Casserole Program

The purpose of our Caring Casserole (CC) Program is to provide a healthy meal to church members, their families, or friends of our congregation including those who are home bound, ill, are celebrating a new baby, those who are hurting, or just to welcome someone to our church and community or say thank you for your service. Visiting someone? Feel free to take them a meal or take one for yourself or family. Church staff & members will deliver frozen meals on care visits.  

Our children worked hard to make some casseroles. Here's proof:

♥          HOW YOU CAN HELP 

To Give A Meal:

• Go online to the “Give A Meal” section on the Gathered in Love website under “SSPC SSI” at www.ekklesion.com or call Saundra Hathaway at 638-1786 or e-mail.

• Use ONLY disposable pans.

• Consider giving restricted diet meals (vegetarian, low fat, no nuts or mayo, low sodium, etc.). We need meals that serve 2, 4, 6, 10 or more people (sample recipes and web links provided below).

• LABEL (securely) ALL meals with date food made & frozen; ALL ingredients; thawing & baking instructions; & number of servings.

• Take casseroles or main dish meals to church and store in kitchen freezer on shelf labeled “CC Casseroles” during church service hours or church office hours. 

• Go to drawer in church kitchen near telephone marked “CC Casserole Labels,” peel off a pre-made label with message from our church & Bible quote, and place on top of the meal you brought before storing it in freezer.

To Take A Meal:

• Choose any size or type of meal needed, more than one can be taken at a time, such as for a week. If taking meals for multiple days, please just write in the number of meals on the line with the name. 

• Please take one moment to complete the sign out sheet located in the drawer in the kitchen near telephone marked “CC Casserole Labels.” Put in the name of person or family getting a meal(s) (does not have to be a member of the SSPC congregation), date, & your initials—this is only so 10 people don’t deliver to the same family in one day.
