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.

All slots through April 26th have been filled. Thank you!

The Upper Room devotional magazines for March/April 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.

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!

Beginning in January, our Digests will go out on the second Friday or following Monday of the month.
