Serve - In the Church
The strength of a church is definitely not
confined to Sunday worship. As much prayerful work goes on outside the nave
as within it, through the time and energy offered by a host of volunteers.
Much of this work is invisible, but crucial not only to the stability and
smooth operation of the parish, but to the joy and comfort of the church
community as a whole. Opportunities
in the Church:
► Worship
► Education
► Music
► Pastoral Care
► Service
and Interest Groups, Other Committees
