HOW TO HELP
USHERS NEEDED
Starting on Sunday, May 9th, the 9:00 Parking Lot Service will be moving indoors and meeting in the Sanctuary. This will be a permanent move with COVID protocol in place as we will continue to encourage everyone to social distance, sitting only in the marked pews, and wear a mask.

With our move inside our need for volunteers is growing! What a wonderful opportunity God has provided for us!

Would you be willing and able to usher or greet for this service or the 11:00 service? Contact Kim Watson to sign up or receive more information.
