Are you looking for ways to help around church?
Are you looking for a new view for Morning Prayer? Would you like exclusive seating? This opportunity is fun and exciting if you know how to use an iPad and press buttons! Sometimes, we need a substitute organist/camera person, and no musical talent is required! Kevin sets up everything for you, and all you need to do is start the live stream and press play (and next) for the hymns. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, chat with Kevin Monteith, the organist, for more details.
Would you like to be an Acolyte, Altar Guild member, Chalice Bearer, Reader, Server, or Thurifer? For those interested, please mention it to Rev. Mary.
If you want to be a reader or greeter, chat with Paul Haynes.
Ongoing Missions: Love Inc. and Transitional Living Center
