Have You Considered Being a Liturgist?
You’d make the weekly announcements, say the opening prayer, and read the scripture. It’s not difficult; a clear script is provided so you don’t have to make up anything on the fly. The signup sheet is on the Social Hall stage if you’re interested in contributing to our worship service in this way during the next few months.
Currently we're full through the end of October, but there are four slots open in November and December if you'd like to sign up in advance.
Choir Schedule
It's the perfect time to join the choir! Sunday rehearsals take place at 9 AM, and Thursday practices start at 6:30 PM.
Upper Room Devotionals
The Upper Room devotional magazines for November/December are free for the taking on the narthex table. If you'd like to have one mailed to you, please contact the office and specify if you need large print or not.
Volunteers Needed for Kitchen Prep
We would greatly appreciate having more volunteers in the kitchen for food prep before the 10AM worship service and clean-up after Fellowship hour. It's not difficult work at all, but it's time consuming with so few people doing it. Many hands make light work!
Thank you to everyone who has helped so far with your gifts of time, energy, money and food! We couldn't do this without you!
Digest Publishing Schedule
Our Digest will generally be issued on the first Tuesday of each month.
If you'd like to be put on the mailing list (either email or 'snail' mail) please contact the church office.
Prayer Requests
If you have a prayer request, please contact the church office or pastor, or share it with the congregation during the Joys and Concerns segment of the Sunday worship service. We can also include your request (anonymously if you wish) in the next digest.
Our "Lost and Found" Stash is Growing...
We have quite a number of items on our Lost and Found shelf! If you have lost anything over the past year either inside our building or somewhere on our church campus, please inquire at the office to see if we have found it.
