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. Congregational involvement is always valued. We also feel it would be beneficial to have a Greeter each Sunday to welcome all those attending our service and provide newcomers with information re coffee, washrooms, hearing devices, Sunday School – if children are attending, and be available to answer any questions that may arise. Sign-up sheet will be in the foyer starting Sept 7/25 or contact Maxine at the church office. We thank you in advance for assisting when possible.
