Sunday School Teachers and Helpers Needed

The best way to nurture the developing faith of the children in our church is with our Sunday School program.  We need loving adults who will teach our kids.  We have a great curriculum and there will be     another adult in the classroom to help.  Please sign up on the sheet on the table in Fellowship Hall.  You will find it a delight and you will be helping in a very significant ministry.

Soup Lunches at the Church - We Need Your Help

Our free soup and bread lunch will continue through the fall and winter since they have been such a success.  Come for fellowship and food, every Thursday from 11:30 am - 1:00 pm.   We welcome additional help for serving, cooking, or donating money for food.  If you would like to volunteer, please contact Betty Smith or Gayle Murphy.
