You will find below a brief summary of the work of each of our Church Committees, as well as specific tasks in the life of our congregation for which the committee is responsible. We are the Little Chapel with a Big Heart but it is our collective gifts shared in Christian service that make it so. God has given to each of us gifts, time and talents to use for the good of each other and of God’s work in the world.
“Whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all and especially for those of the family of faith.” Galatians 6:10
Recognizing the gifts, the time and the talents which God has given to me, I wish to dedicate these in the following ways to the service of God through the work of the Little Chapel in 2006: (Please return this form to the church office as soon as possible)
