Do you have ideas?

Do you desire to help people meet Christ in worship?

Do you have a heart for building community?

Do you look forward to the fellowshilp experience during worship with other Christians?

If so, this can be a great opportunity for you to volunteer and get involved. Start by joining the Worship and Music Committee and the next time the position needs to be filled you could be nominated.

Just think, maybe all a person needs who is sitting on the fence is to be invited to a worship service.
