Wednesday Morning Prayer Group

This group meets weekly at 10 a.m. in room 102. This group begins with a devotion and prays for the church, lifting up the prayer concerns shared during worship the previous Sunday.  Also, additional prayers are offered for visitors and those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries.  The group sends cards each week to a small number of persons for whom they prayed. Everyone is welcome. Please contact the Wednesday Morning Prayer Group leader for more information.

Sunday School Greeter Corps

The Greeters Corp helps visitors and members locate Sunday School classes and provides welcoming smiles, kind words, and helpful attitudes to all. Our goal is to have greeters in place each Sunday from 9:15 a.m. until 9:45 a.m.  This easy and important opportunity for service to our church and to Christ is open to all members. Please contact the greeter corps coordinator for more information.

Van Ministry

The Van Ministry is an community outreach ministry for those who do not have transportation to church.  We also transport for other activities at the church.  There are drivers who take turns driving the van.  This is important to the people who cannot drive anymore but wish to stay active in the church. Please contact the van ministry coordinator for more information.

Servant Angels
