DID YOU KNOW-

It takes 21 people to help worship run smooth every Sunday? 

Not only is this time spent setting up chairs and music equipment, but is also a fantastic fellowship opportunity.  People are getting to know others while bonding over shared tasks.    Try it.    We think you will not only enjoy your time, but also want to do it again and again.
