Stewardess
As Stewardesses the expectations are (Readiness). We must be on time and in place and be ready to serve and worship God in preparing God’s table (communion). Also a part of the Stewardess ministry is to serve our first family and any works that are assigned to us by the Pastor. We seek to learn from the Stewardess that came before us. We come together each Saturday before the 1st Sunday to prepare communion.
