Hurray for Our Nursery Workers of the Week!
Thank you Judy Henderson and Mary Lou Millwood for serving in the nursery
on October 8. We appreciate you!
Heather and Jeremy Ellenburg are in charge of the nursery on Homecoming Sunday. Thank you for serving!
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.
