Fellowship and welcoming all is an important part of our church ministry. We encourage members and guests to gather in fellowship before and after all of our worship services.
To provide for this fellowship time, many volunteers are needed to set up, make coffee, clean up, etc. Donations of snacks to serve are always welcomed and appreciated. Your help and participation can make a difference in this fellowship effort. If interested in volunteering, there is a sign-up sheet in the fellowship hall. If you have questions, please call the church office and someone from the Fellowship Board will get back to you.
