Nursery Workers Needed Due to changes with her work, our nursery worker, Kim Parks, has had to step down from that position full time. We are looking for individuals to work the nursery on a rotation basis during the Sunday School hour and 2nd Worship Service. This is a paid position. If interested, please contact Lindel Davis or the church office.
