Summer Worship Leaders Needed
Would you like to take part in our Sunday Worship services? There are openings for Worship Leaders this summer to lead the opening and closing prayers and read the scriptures.
Please see Laurel Williams for details and to sign up for a Sunday that works with your summer schedule!
Summer Volunteering
With summer approaching, we look forward to beautiful walks around the lake greeting our neighbors with food and a smile not to mention prepping lunches with a jolly team and sunbeams coming through the expansive Stark Room windows. Did we say how blessed we feel after our monthly Saturday food giveaway knowing that even that brief bit of time and effort means free food is made accessible to our community? We are meeting a new people each month. Get out your calendars and pick some dates to come out to be blessing and even more so to be blessed!
Contact Rose Lynn, Tom, Kathleen, Liz and Horacio for any questions. All are welcome!
