Serving God

There are many areas of service within our church, and ***workers are always needed.*** Some duties and activities are on a rotating schedule, others are needed on a regular basis. But all of them are vital to our faith family and God’s work at The Cross. Please prayerfully consider how you can serve the Lord this year.
