 WORSHIP LEADER ORIENTATION
Sunday, September 22nd
Over the last year, we have been blessed with many new people to the life of SSCC. Several of you have graciously volunteered to help lead worship by reading scripture, leading the pastoral prayer and offering the invitation to communion. Some of you have asked for direction as it relates to helping lead worship. To this end, we are going to have a brief worship leader orientation next Sunday, September 22nd. We will offer two sessions, one at 8:30 am and one at 9:15 am in the sanctuary. Whether you have been leading worship at SSCC for years or want to volunteer for the first time, we invite you to participate. There will also be an opportunity that morning to sign up for different roles on different dates. If you have any questions, please contact Bryant Gibson.
