YOUR HELP IS NEEDED:

• Angie Duren has requested help with the organization of our Teacher's Workroom.  If you have a little extra time to do this please contact Angie.
• Another area needing a team or couple is Children's Worship.  Everything is prepared for you to walk in and teach.  You have teen helpers and your rotation is only one Sunday every three months.  Please see Tanya Welch if you can help in this area.  Thank you in advance for serving in these areas!!
