KIDS WORSHIP LEADER NEEDED! We are looking for a song leader for Children’s Church. We hope to find someone passionate about worship and teaching our little ones how to worship. This person would fill the final spot on our rotation and would be asked to lead once a month. Singing time takes the first 20 minutes of Sunday mornings (9:30 – 9:50 A.M.) This allows the worship leader to join adult worship before the message begins. We are open to adults or teens (even working in pairs) taking this role. This role needs to be filled ASAP so please act quickly! If interested, contact Stacy Hoffman (869-8114 or office@demottearc.com).
