MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT:
ST. DAVID'S GREETING MINISTRY WANTS YOU!
Are you interested in becoming a greeter? It is a truly wonderful ministry put on by St. David’s each Sunday to welcome everyone into our beautiful space. It serves as an opportunity to get to know our congregation better and welcome those visiting for the first time.
We are looking for people to help 20-30 minutes before the 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. services by opening doors and answering any questions people may have when entering the church.
It is light and happy work to welcome people into our beautiful building, and we hope you will join us by emailing Carter Leer for more information.
Looking forward to hearing from y’all!
