Spotlight on Volunteers

We are blessed to have volunteers who step up to keep our church humming. So, thanks to everyone who brought in palms and purchased flowers. And thanks also to those who came this past Saturday to polish brass: Ashley, BJ, Bobbie, Chastity, Ken, Lisa, Marilyn, Mary, and Sandy.
