Thank you to our six new volunteers
Last week we let you know that we needed some additional Parking Posse members and you responded. We have six new volunteers! We have room for more. If you’d like to meet new, interesting people and serve everyone from young families with kids to seniors who need a lift, sign up with Rev. David Johnson, david@fumc-rr.org, or Paul Lake, plake@austin.rr.com. Time commitment is minimal... only between and after Sunday morning worship services.
