Other News...
The Evangelism Team identified that one of the strengths of our church family is the feeling of warmth and a sense of belonging to almost everyone who is a member or an occasional visitor. We want to build on that characteristic! The ultimate goal is for everyone to serve as a greeter every Sunday. Are you up for the challenge? If so, put on that smile and meet your fellow church-goers! Happy Greeting!
