For Your Information and Action

• Each one of us makes a vow at each baptism to assist in that child’s Christian training. Here is where you can fulfill your vow. We are still in great need of people to do the work for our fall programs. This would involve facilitators on Wednesday nights in 2nd and 3rd grades or helpers in the classrooms. Wednesday evenings also have needs for cooks, substitute servers, nursery and drama presenters. Our Sunday School program is also in need of Pre-school teachers and helpers as well as someone to pick up collections. We also need someone to coordinate our nursery schedule on Sundays. Please prayerfully consider how you can be a help in your church and sign up today at the information counter.
