We are looking for more ushers and greeters. These are easy but important jobs. USHERS pass out worship folders, pass the offering plate, direct people where to go for Communion. GREETERS smile and shake hands as people come in the door. Super easy, right?! You'll be scheduled no more than once a month. Contact David Renner: 303.908.2332, david.anthony.renner@comcast.net.
