We also ask you to remember those who cannot attend services and to keep them in prayer: Jo B, Maureen B, Aky D, Charles & Stella D, John D, Riek H, Audrey K, Frances L, Jan M, Thea P, Gerdie P, Louise S, Mary S, Joanne T, Nell V, & Riet V.
Seeking interim Ministry Coordinator: The personnel committee is asking the congregation to consider the names of anyone who may be a good fit to fill in for a 4 month time frame (mid March to mid July) at approx. 10 hrs per week to lead and organize the music worship portion of these services. This is a compensated position. Playing the piano, or a lead instrument, plus practising with the song leaders prior to each service will be required. After this 4 month initial time frame council, and the Pastor, will decide how to best move forward with a permanent filling of the Ministry Coordinator role, and how it will evolve. If you, or someone you feel would be a good fit for this, would like to hear more contact a member of the Personnel committee (Kevin K, Doug J, Yvonne M, Wayne D) or inquire at the church office for details
Food Bank Needs: Mac & Cheese, Hamburger Helper, instant noodles, school safe snacks, stove top stuffing, gravy mixes/sauces, diabetic friendly items (sugar-free options/low sugar) such as sweetener or keto items, any store-bought cookies.
