† TIME AND TALENT SURVEY During the month of November, we will be making a Time and Talent survey available for you to complete. There are copies of the survey on the round table in the narthex. There is a blue tray on the information table in the narthex for submitting the completed surveys. This will help us learn who in our congregation can help serve in different ways and help us connect you with the ministries and service opportunities that are the best fit. Please take the time to fill it out.
