Decorating Committee is being formed to ensure the church is decorated and floral arrangements are changed seasonally and to ensure our sanctuary remains a beautiful place of worship. Our first need for floral arrangements to be changed would be January, after the Christmas decorations are put away.  If you are interested in offering ideas or serving in this way, please contact Kathie Berry after church.
