It's time to set aside items you no longer need, because the church would like them for our upcoming yard sale fundraiser!
The next schedule for readers, intercessors (prayers of the people) and communion helpers will be put together shortly. The new schedule will run from April until September. New volunteers are always welcome! You do not need to have any experience, and mentoring is available. Let Tina know if you would like to be added to the roster.
