Ministry News & Announcements

SMALLS is growing and is in need of more volunteers for the upcoming school year

We have grown our number of students which is amazing! Our young students in kindergarten thru 6th grade are ready to learn more about Jesus and you can help. Volunteering is once a month and there is a provided curriculum. Our volunteers work in teams of two or three. If you are interested or would like to sit in and see if this is somewhere you can serve within the church, please reach out to Atalie Maynard, ataliemaynard@gmail.com.   Youth in middle and high school are also welcome to volunteer on a regular schedule. All volunteers must have clearances or be willing to complete before starting.

Helping Hand Food Ministry

Sunday, July 20, immediately following worship servants are invited to meet in the kitchen to help prepare the food for delivery in York City.
