For 10 years, First Christian Church has participated in ministry at Ivy Knoll. Prior to COVID, we had more than 20 regular worship attendees at the weekly worship service and 7 volunteers, plus me. Ivy Knoll has asked us to return to offering weekly worship services for their residents. Some of our previous volunteers are not able to participate or cannot serve every week.
We need volunteers to save this ministry. If you’re interested in helping out once a week or once a month, please let me, or Brenda and Sterling Staggs by July 9th. We need to let Ivy Knoll know whether or not we can continue this ministry.
