Note from Ryan and Margaret Taliaferro
A big thank you to the church community. The meals we received last week were amazing, so thoughtful and kind. It was a huge help and we really felt the love and support. God is great and our church is such a blessing. Thank you
We will be highlighting areas of need for volunteers over the next few weeks.
Last week, we focused on media support—specifically our Facebook page and church website—and we are still in need of a volunteer to help in this area.
This week, we are seeking someone to help organize and coordinate property upkeep. This role is not responsible for doing the upkeep itself, but for helping oversee and coordinate building and grounds needs.
Please consider serving in these timely and important ways.
Thank you for helping us seek God’s direction as we look to serve our church and community well.
