Pray for our Personnel Committee as they seek our next worship leader

The Portland Avenue Personnel Team is actively pursuing the next person who is to be the worship leader at Portland Avenue. Please pray for Karen Jones, Phil Tritten, Harry Black, Rochelle Bradford, and Matt Stewart.

Worship Leader Position Description:
