BUILDING SUB-COMMITTESS NEEDED ~ Building a new worship facility takes input from many members of our parish. Everyone has his/her own talents and expertise that can be shared to build a practical and beautiful church. The following sub-committees are looking for members for their input in the following areas: Worship and Music, Education, Social and Recreation, Office and Facilities, Building and Grounds, and Construction. A copy of the sub-committee duties are in the back of the church for your review along with a sign-up sheet. If you are at all interested, please sign up and someone will contact you to give you more information before you commit to the project. “Whatever we do, whether in speech or in action, we do it in the name of the Lord Jesus” Col. 3:17
