OUR WWW  PURPOSE: We don't want just another "meeting."  We desire to have a ministry that changes the lives of women of all ages.  We want to see women get out of their boat & begin to walk in freedom, sharing Christ, sharing their story, growing in their faith, and living boldly for Christ.

Greet members & guests (upstairs & downstairs) Sunday mornings with a smiling face! Rotation will be based off of how many volunteers sign up for this ministry.  Will serve for 1 year.  

This team will organize the event, contact members for scheduling, & update our member information.  

Take pictures of families for the digital church directory using the camera on your phone. May be more than one volunteer.

Take a picture of new members that join and post on bulletin board in the church foyer. Can use camera on your phone for this.
