HELP WANTED!! – SUNDAY SCHOOL
Whether Sunday School is to resume, as advertised on September 10th remains up to you.

We need to re-examine our vision and determine the availability of help, in the form of leadership and weekly support. A healthy dose of inspiration would also prove invaluable. Please speak with John Lewis (519-379-1685). Thank You.
