HELP NEEDED!
We have several dates that need to be filled for streaming the Divine Services.
  • September 24
  • October 1, 22, & 29
  • November 5 & 26
  • December 3, 24 & 31
If you would like to learn how to run the laptop and fill in for these dates, please contact Kathryn Feldt. Dates that are not filled, will not be live streamed.
MEMBER SCHEDULE BOOK: Thank you to the many people who have volunteered over the past year. It is time to put together the 2024 schedule book. This is a great time to learn a new skill, put an existing talent to use and give of your time to church. There are many opportunities to volunteer. Here are a few ways you can help:
  • ALTAR GUILD (1-2 month commitment)
  • ANNOUNCEMENTS (1-2 month commitment)
  • DRIVER (One Sunday a month)
  • GREETER (One Sunday a month)
  • LIVE STREAM PRODUCER (stream services via laptop, One Sunday a month)
  • CAMERA OPERATOR (One Sunday a month)
The ideal number of volunteers would be at least 5 for each of the weekly tasks so that each volunteer would have just once a month commitment on a regular basis and a substitute. Altar guild and Announcements should have at least 6 volunteers and up to 12 volunteers. See the posters for volunteer descriptions.
FALL OUTDOOR CLEAN-UP: Please join us on Saturday, October 7th from 9-1pm to clean up the outside of the church, including the parsonage, garage, and shelter areas. A light lunch will be served. The church does have some lawn tools but please feel free to bring your own, along with gloves. In case of rain, the date will be moved to Saturday, October 14th. Many hands make light work!
