We do a lot, but we do not expect members to help with everything. Rather, we encourage you to help as much as you can, as family, job, and church come first. Perhaps you can attend a meeting only every few months and help with one event a year, that would be great.
Our next Exemplification of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity Degree will be Tuesday, June 17th, in the church hall - sign up before then.
