Hurray for Our Nursery Workers of the Week!
We appreciate Vanessa Bryson and David McDonald serving in the nursery last Sunday.
They always have fun with the children. Thank you both!
On April 21, Melanie and Izzy Joiner will work in the nursery.
Thank you ladies for your help!
There is still room on the schedule to serve “the least of these”
on Sunday mornings. It is a blessing to see their smiles and enthusiasm as you spend
time with our infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
Please contact Cheryl Beck (cabeck@ncsu.edu) if you would like to help.
