disciples kitchen policies

​For your convenience, we are providing as many documents and forms as possible in electronic format.  If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you should be able to download these files (click here for a free copy of Acrobat Reader).  

IMPORTANT: While we try to maintain a current schedule, teams sometimes trade dates without reflecting it on the schedule.  Please always check with your Team Coordinator if you are not certain of your group's next serving date.
