Gift of Helps - If your gift area is not in the music arena, we would really appreciate anyone who could help us move equipment and set up from time to time.
 
These are great areas of ministry and opportunities for outreach. If you are interested and would like more information, please call the church office: 561-395-2811 ext 218.
