Sunday, July 1, between worship services there will be a short video, an overview about Stephen Ministry and a time to ask questions of trained Stephen Ministers. If you have given thought to sharing your gifts through this ministry, please join us in CDC Room 104. A new Stephen Ministry class will begin in September. If you are interested, but cannot attend, please talk with one of our Stephen Leaders: Tim, Rebekah, Jackie Williams, Priscilla Babas, Gerard Roy or Dawn Trattner. |
Would you like to lift someone's spirits?
 Many of the floral arrangements that brighten our sanctuary each Sunday are delivered to members or friends of the church who are homebound, hospitalized, or suffering from illness or loss. If you are interested in occasionally being the bright spot in someone's day, please contact Holly Naylor, at 260-3999 or email holly.naylor@gmail.com. An informational session will be held in early June for those interested.
