Worship Assistance

Thanks to all of the members and visitors who came to worship with us yesterday!  We hope to continue worshiping regularly like this as we monitor the community spread of Covid-19, but we hope you take advantage of our Tent of Meeting in the courtyard for a safe warm weather worship experience.  If we continue to worship together like this we need more worship volunteers to help with the set up and take down for worship and for people to fill the normal worship roles with some additional duties due to Covid-19.  Please take a look at the following roles and see if you are willing to help in this way.  Again if you are someone who has health or age issues that make you more susceptible to Covid-19 we understand not wanting to take on these roles right now, but for the rest of you that are able and willing to help, we really need you to help the church in this way so we can continue to worship together as safely as possible!  You can call the office to volunteer, contact Colleen Siarnicki or ask a greeter to sign you up for a role at worship on Sunday.
