Ministries of Service

Do you love spending time in the Chapel? Do you feel the love of Jesus and the Holy Spirit when you are there? Our chapel is a gift to all of us. Do you have an hour to help us clean?

In the winter, there are only a few hours each month when we have the open time to clean: Friday between 12:15 and 2 pm on the 3rd & 4th weekends of the month. Volunteers would work on a rotating schedule cleaning the pews and wood kneeler frames of salt, dirt and cobwebs. We supply the cleaning products if you have the time to help us out.
