• Ushering

  USHERING – If this is an area that you enjoy serving and would like to help on a regular basis, please come talk to us. We are looking for those who might like to USHER each month...say...every 2nd Sunday, or every

  4th Sunday. We already have two gentlemen who do the 1st Sunday of each month. You choose, that way you know exactly when it’s your turn to help with this important part of the 9:00am Worship Service. And, it helps us to fill those spots without having to make numerous phone calls. Thank you for your consideration.
