The C.D. Committee is trying to get our youth more involved in church worship.
One way we thought this would be possible is to have them help out with ushering. Since schedules are already made and sent out, we are asking those who have volunteered, that if they are unable to help one Sunday if they would please let us know and we will find a youth replacement for them. Thank you! Contact Doreen Smith.
