Handbells will rehearse at 5pm followed by choir rehearsal at 6:30pm. We are excited and hopeful that this change will open the opportunity for new members to join us. Nursery Volunteers NeededWe are in search of 12 adult volunteers to assist on a rotating basis in the nursery during Sunday worship. If you would be willing to serve please contact Elizabeth. Attention All Cooks!We could always use meals/snacks for our youth programs. Willing cooks should contact Elizabeth. Change for HaitiCheck your pockets, purses, and even sofas for extra change that you may have. Place it in the marked jar in the Narthex. We will make sure your offering goes to Pastor Sidor of Haiti Help and Hope. He oversees five churches and a school. His mission is to feed and educate the children, and teach them about God's love. Haiti is ranked #1 of the ten poorest countries in the world. |
