VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
The Congregational President is challenging everyone to take a moment and think of areas you might be able and willing to serve, and to jump in!
Some examples might be:
Teaching or mentoring- leading or helping with Sunday School, serving on the Youth Ministry Board, starting or participating in a Life Group etc.
Direct service to others in need- visiting shut-ins, working with Embrace Grace, making quilts with Threads of Faith, etc.
Campus Maintenance- Lawn mowing, grounds maintenance, helping with projects when needed, attending Men of Faith once a month. Our old buildings and grounds need a lot of care, and this is one area where we especially lack volunteers.
Helping with Worship Services- Leading or participating in a music group, serving as a Greeter, Usher, or Reader, or even giving a Mission Moment or Children’s Message.
Leadership- Most of our boards need more participation, some have only one person serving (or none!). Our elected church officers could use some help!
Clear the fellowship hall on Sunday, Nov 10 after second service for new flooring to be laid on Monday. Also Monday Eve/night to move stuff back when they are done.
Please contact Mike Todd at 360-491-3868 or to volunteer or
contact the Church office if you’d like to learn more.
