THE MUSIC & WORSHIP COMMITTEE is organizing a Help-in-out Team. If you would like to join our team just talk to Jill or Den. We have folks who would like to go to church but they need help getting from their vehicle to the sanctuary. They might need something carried or help with a walker or wheelchair or some other assistance. We want to have a team that we can count on to assist these people "in or out" of the sanctuary to their vehicle. If you are somebody that needs assistance to and from the sanctuary let Jill or Den know so we can have somebody assist you.

 

CHURCH DIRECTORY 2027: I’m working on the Directory for next year, I will be needing any new or updated names,  addresses, phone numbers, email address. Anyone that has any changes, please email Jenn at jennlk1997@gmail.com, call the church office 717-899-6297, or text or call my cell 717-513-5993. Thanks
