• Church Kitchen Cleaning Volunteers Needed for December-March
  A clean and organized church kitchen allows for us to continue so many ministry endeavors — care groups, receptions, luncheons, daily use by the church staff and Covenant School, etc.  This once-a-month rotation of 1-3 volunteers allows us to deep clean, maintain, and organize a heavily used church resource so it can continued to be used well.  Sign-up with a friend or get to know someone new by serving together in this way!  You can access the sign-up here. Contact: Christine Fulcrod | 540-746-4848 | nlicc@nlicc.org
