COFFEE HOUR MINISTRY HIGHLIGHTS:
The Ushers will be providing light refreshments in front of the church between the 9:00 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. services today. This ministry plays an important role in helping newcomers and visitors form a positive impression of our church. They greet people on Sunday mornings, hand out service bulletins, collect the offering, and assist the congregation at communion time.
Next week is Confirmation Sunday. There will be a special coffee hour in the Parish Hall in honor of the Bishop’s visit and our confirmands. Please stop by to enjoy coffee and refreshments and to celebrate this joyous occasion.
