Special Music ~ Our summer schedule if fast approaching (May 27) and we'll be giving our very dedicated choir a well deserved break. It also means that we are looking for those who would like to share special music with the congregation at a Sunday service. You will find a sign-up sheet on the table in the Chapel area. We encourage you to share your talents with everyone and pick a date to perform.
Communion Chart ~ A communion chart has been provided for members to sign-up in advance of Communion Sundays to serve. This helps the Music and Worship committee prepare for that special service and to see what help is available in advance. Please stop by and sign up when you are available beginning with the June 3rd service. The Communion Chart is posted in the foyer next to the Flower Chart. Thank You!
