We are looking for the people who feel called to serve. Our teams looked at a handout that describes the roles of church committees. Now we are looking to fill the open positions so that we can spend time on ministry. Please take a look at the handout on the back table, pray about your role in our church family, and let me know if God is calling you to minister with one of these committees.
With you in service--Pastor Angie
