Help Needed!
We need volunteers to change the church road sign in 2019. No experience or age limitations...just a desire to contribute to the life of your church. If you are looking for an opportunity to serve without having to tie up a lot of time, please contact Rachel in the church office. Thanks for your help!
The session is forming an adhoc work committee to brainstorm and research options for utilizing our education building. If you have an interest in serving on this committee, please contact Pastor Jill. This committee will begin its work in early January (after the holidays).
