Are You Interested in Reading Scripture during Worship? We are in need of a few additional lay readers for the 11am Contemporary Worship Service. Typically, you will not be asked to read more than once a month. Scripture is emailed out the Wednesday before you are scheduled to read and schedules are sent out quarterly in the mail. If you are interested in being a reader, please contact Ashley Koehler at the church office. Thank you!
Thank you for your support and donations to the much-needed Feed the Need Ministry! Our current needs are: sandwich crackers, hamburger patties, lunchmeats, oranges, French fries, tater tots, frozen meatballs, and chicken nuggets.
