Caring Ministries
Prayer Team Members Needed
Would you enjoy serving on our Prayer Team? Our prayer team members pray with those who come into the prayer room looking for someone to pray with after worship services. The time commitment is small, but the rewards are great! We are in need of more prayer room volunteers, especially for the 3rd service. If you have an interest, please contact Kari Peterson
