Fellowship - Enjoy a cup of fair trade coffee and other treats after worship on Sundays.  All are invited to a time of conversation and refreshment together in the fellowship hall, also called the Vestry, or outside during July and August when we meet at the Little River Church.  This is a wonderful time to meet new friends and to learn more of the ministries of the church through conversation, bulletin boards, and the communications table.

Music Ministry - The choir gathers on Thursday evenings at 7 pm and Sunday mornings at 9 am for prayer and rehearsal.  Under the wondrous direction of Gail Adams Shunk, the choir leads regularly in worship September through June.  During July and August, choir members and musicians offer their talents in worship through solos and special musical offerings.  Gail encourages all with a heart for praising God through music to join the choir.

The church is blessed to have a set of tone chimes.  With church member Debbie Eaton coordinating, the tone chimes are played for worship and for special occasions in the life of the church.  No experience is necessary to join the Tone Chime Choir, and all are welcome.

Other Program Opportunities - Worship opportunities include: acolytes (children grades 1 - 5 are invited to bring the light of Christ into worship), greeters, ushers and worship leaders.
