Everyone Is Welcome!

Your Help Is Needed!
Our coffee time after church has been very well attended and is a wonderful opportunity for our church family to socialize and share time together but it does require hands and feet for it to be successful. Please ask yourself if you might be able to help shoulder the load as more helpers are needed to sign up to fill the kettles and coffee pots with water and set out trays of mugs.
