New - Sorting Teams For Blue Bin
Sundays after 10:00am Worship and/or Wednesdays at 1:30pm
Are you or your family looking to be directly involved with a ministry; that truly makes a difference in the lives of those in need in our community? If so, we have established two main sorting teams for going through the clothing donations collected in the "blue bin" in the lower parking lot. One team will sort on Sundays after the 10:00 church service and the other team will sort on Wednesday afternoons at 1:30pm. Jayne Bray is in charge of scheduling and will arrange for the sorting to occur about every ten days. If interested in joining one of these teams, please contact Jayne Bray, or Hank Gatlin.
Thank you for considering being a part of this ministry team!
