September 8 “Sunday Worship: It Takes a Village”
Speaker: Matt Bear, Chair of the Worship Board & Members of the Worship Board
Have you ever wondered how many people it takes to organize Sunday worship? Meet the committees who work behind the scenes as part of the Worship Board to make worship happen each week. You’ll hear about planning music, baking bread, setting the altar and prepping the linens, ushers, greeters, readers, assisting ministers, fellowship hosts, and technology partners. Perhaps, you’ll find a place where you’d like to become more active!
