Volunteer for Children's Church
 
The Children's Ministry Team is planning on expanding the current Children's Church Program. Starting in September there will be a separate class for two and three year olds when the older children are having children's church in the fellowship hall. Teachers are needed to read a story, help children color a picture, and interact with the children during play time in a classroom downstairs for 30 to 40 minutes during the Sunday worship service. Volunteers will be part of a rotation requiring participation once every two to three months depending on the number of volunteers. If you are interested, please contact Julie Watterson or Renae Bender.

 
Volunteers Needed
 
We need volunteers for two Sunday Morning ministries and your gifts may be the perfect fit. We are looking for people interested in operating the sound system and individuals who would like to be ushers. If you would like to receive training in these areas and be part of the teams that help these ministries get done, please contact the church office.
