WORSHIP TEAM REQUEST – We would like to invite any and all people who would like to be a Reader during Sunday Service or a Greeter prior to Worship to sign up on the sheet in the foyer or contact Maxine at the church office. We thank you in advance for assisting where possible. Congregational involvement is always valuable and on the days that Karen preaches we hope we can count on YOU to read a selected piece! We also feel it would be beneficial to have a Greeter each Sunday to direct new comers to coffee, washrooms, Sunday School – if children are attending.
