*NEW ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE NURSERY COORDINATOR POSITION
Nursery Coordinator position: The personnel committee is looking for someone to fill the nursery coordinator position. We need volunteers to help cover the nursery while our search continues.

If you are willing to volunteer to help fill this need for our members, please contact the church office or the personnel committee.
