In an effort to bring our congregation together more strongly, as well as to improve communication, we are asking for people to volunteer to call others in the church on a regular basis. This would be both to check on all as well as to develop relationships in which persons can feel comfortable sharing about what is going on in their lives – either to rejoice or to request support. This is also a beginning for a church calling plan in case everyone needs to be informed of something quickly, an example being to let all know that the weather is causing church to be cancelled on a Sunday morning. Please let Pastor Bill, Pastor Sharon, or Diane know if you are willing to serve in this way. |
