More Contemporary
Another contemporary worship service is planned for 5 p.m., Saturday, March 5. This service is especially for people who find it difficult to make Sunday morning worship because of work or family commitments. Perhaps you know someone in that situation. Invite them to Friedens for this service. It's also great for people looking for a less-traditional worship experience. Volunteers also are needed for nursery, greeters, snacks, and to operate audio/visual equipment.
