We need help on Thursday evenings from 6:30-7:0 to clean the church in preparation for worship. There is a sign up sheet at the coffee bar for those able to contribute. This is an easy way to serve as well as to get connected with others in the church.
Art Group and Worship practice take place on Thursdays as well so it is a great time of fellowship. If you would like more info you can talk to Bruce Kennedy, Van Gower or Elisabeth Lloyd.
