Talent and Interest Sheets
In order for our new structure to work, people need to indicate their talent and passions. There is an envelope for everyone in the church with Talent and Interest Sheets so you can let us know what you like to do. Unfilled forms will be mailed out soon so save us the postage! There is a basket for filled out forms.
