ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SERVING IN THE NURSERY?

We are reaching out to all individuals who previously expressed interest in working in the nursery. If you are still interested, please meet with us immediately following the worship service on Sunday, April 12, 2026 (Second Sunday) in the nursery.

If there is anyone else who is newly interested in serving in the nursery, you are also welcome to join us for this meeting.

This meeting is important as we will be completing required documentation. We appreciate your willingness to serve and look forward to connecting with you.

THANK YOU FROM PASTOR EMERITUS ISAIAH WEBSTER

I know this note has been a little slow in coming, and there is a reason for that. It is not always easy to convey how you feel about something with just words. Sometimes when we see someone who is very dear to us we don’t say anything at all, we just run to them and hug them. That is what I would like to do for each of you. I cannot express how I really feel about all that has been done for me and my family. Consider this my hug for each of you. 

Pastor Emeritus Isaiah Webster
