We are looking for volunteers for one-time odd jobs and for ongoing ministry tasks. For example, would you be willing to lock the building after Sunday worship? Would you like to be an usher, reader, or communion assistant? Would you help with the Welcome Table or Wednesday Nights Together? Would you help with altar care or flowers for Sunday morning?
