Spiritual Enrichment Committee The mission of the Spiritual Enrichment Committee is to nurture the spiritual life and development of children, youth and adults through education, Bible study, and fellowship.  In addition, together with the pastor, the committee is responsible for developing the worship of God that uplifts the spirit of the congregation, gives glory to God, and is consistent with our Presbyterian understanding of the function and ordering of divine worship.  A major goal of the Spiritual Enrichment Committee is to make the entire worship experience a meaningful and challenging one, offering a variety of approaches to stimulate and engage each worshipper.   Meeting Schedule: 4th Thursday of the month,  7:00 pm, Fireside Room Chair: Ellen Bauerle
