Are you looking for a way to make your Christmas holiday extra special this year?
Atonement, Carnegie, needs your help with their Christmas Dinner Outreach.
Consider volunteering an hour or two on Christmas Day, Friday, December 25th, with the good folks at Church of the Atonement, 618 Washington Avenue in Carnegie, as they reach out to share the love of Jesus Christ through providing a free and full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings from 1 to 3 p.m.
For over thirty years, Atonement has been opening its doors to anyone who wants to come, eat, and enjoy fellowship with other people on Christmas Day. Normally about 200 people are served either in the dining room or through free delivery to local shut-ins, EMS and fire departments, and businesses that are open on Christmas day.
Here are ways you can assist:
| 10 to 11:30 a.m. | Cut desserts, prepare salads, bag rolls and butter |
| 11:30-12:30 a.m. |
Pack meals for delivery; deliver those meals to area residents (Carnegie and the South Hills) |
| 11 to 4 p.m. |
Help clean up, which includes washing dishes, pots, pans, etc. An automatic commercial dishwasher is available for most items. This can be done in one hour or 2 hour shifts. |
| 1 to 3 p.m. |
Serve meals in the dining room, keep cups and glasses full of beverages, clear the table when guest leave and reset the table. Engaging diners in conversation while they eat is also very important. |
| 3 to 4 p.m. |
Final Clean up |

If you would like to help but cannot attend, homemade desserts are always welcome and can be delivered on Wednesday, December 23, from 10 a.m. to Noon.
