Hurray for Our Nursery Workers of the Week!
We appreciate Melanie and Izzy Joiner working in the church nursery on Sunday. Everyone had fun!
On January 28, Beth and Lucie Moore will serve in the nursery. Thank you!
A new schedule for nursery workers will be sent out in the next few days. If you would like to help in the nursery and haven't been on the schedule, please contact Cheryl Beck.
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.
