Nursery Volunteers Needed:

Thank you to the many who have already signed up for some slots this spring but we still have some weeks that need volunteers. 

If you have a moment, could you please consider checking the sign up genius and seeing if there are any slots you could fill? The Sundays around spring break are especially empty and we will not have our intern, Amelia, during that time either. 

Thank you all for your faithful service to our youngest kiddos! 

In Christ, Jenny Hubbard, Interim Children's Director
