HELPING HANDS OPPORTUNITY
"Even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve"
Matthew 20:28
If you could use a "Helping Hand" … spring cleanup, shoveling snow, raking leaves, moving furniture, etc., please fill out a Helping Hands Request and place it on the bulletin board in Fellowship Hall. Our Mission Team then asks everyone in the congregation to look at this bulletin board to see if you can be that Helping Hand. If you can help the person in need, please take the request off the board and contact them.
