Ushers and Greeters - Greeter are scheduled month to month to greet everyone coming in at various points around the church
                               and direct them to the sanctuary or Sunday School or wherever they are headed.  The ushers are
                               responsible for handing out the orders of worship as you enter a worship area, assist with seating, and
                               passing the offering plates.  The head usher will be available should there be a health emergency or other
                               situation needing special communication during the services.

Up With Puppets! - A group of dedicated people who love working with puppets to spread the word of God to all ages.  Generally
                          the puppet team consists of middle and high school students with a few adults mixed in.  But we have in the
                          past had a separate adult puppet team.  These teams perform in a variety of settings including Sunday School,
                          Wednesday Night WOW programs, Advent programs, Vacation Bible School,even in worship on rare occasions,
                          as well as outside the church at schools, assisted living homes and other places as well

Wonderful Works - a 'Subgroup" of Presbyterian Women that meets twice a month to work on various projects usually involving
                         sewing, knitting, crocheting, cutting, gluing, or otherwise sorting and assembling items such as baby blankets,
                         prayer blankets, wheelchair bags, stuffed toys etc.  They have a great time together and you don't have
                         to be in Presbyterian Women to join.  You can just come whenever you are available.
