Confirm Your Meals

Please complete the meal confirmation form, even if you already provided meal information when you registered. Your response will help us prepare the right amount of food, reduce waste, and be good stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us.

The form will ask which of the following you plan to attend:

Sunday evening refreshments
Monday lunch
Monday evening banquet
Tuesday lunch

The Monday evening banquet confirmation is especially important because meals are ordered and paid for by the plate. This year’s banquet program will also include a message from Rev. Dr. Randy Duncan.
