Wednesday, September 15th.- WORKSHOP FOR SMALL GROUP LEADERS… at the parsonage, 104 Rauch Dr. Pastor Greg and Mary Kay Williams will lead a workshop on starting and leading small groups as part of the ministry of our church. Small groups gather people for many reasons…
*PRAYER!, SPIRITUAL GROWTH!, BIBLE STUDY!,
CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP!, OUTREACH AND MISSION!, SHARED INTERESTS!*
There are lots of possibilities, all with the common goal of growing deeper & stronger in our Christian Journey. If you are, or think you might be interested in leading a small group, join us for this special gathering.
WORSHIP LEADERS AND SCRIPTURE READERS NEEDED…We are looking for Worship Leaders and Scripture Readers for our 11:00 Sunday service. We need a few to relieve our current Leaders and Readers, especially in the summer months. Can you offer one or two Sundays during the summer for this? Serving the Lord and our Church in these ministries is easy and very rewarding! If you are interested and can help out, please contact Anita Domes (592-7793) or Mary Kay Williams (942-3872). Thank you!
WANTED CHURCH PHOTOGRAPHERS! Do you own a camera? (Digital or other variety) Do you like to take pictures? Do you enjoy attending Church Events? If so, we would love to hear from you!
We are seeking one or more adult volunteers to take photos of our church activities for display at future church events. Our church is used more often than many people are aware of and we would like to feature some of these. This includes everything from Mission Teams to Sports to Pancake Breakfasts and Pasta Dinners; Chili Cook-Offs, Bake Sales, Tropical Sunday, Sunday School Events and much more! Everyone is welcome to submit good quality photos any time of the year; however it would be great to have one or two ‘regular photographers’ available. We need clear, crisp, easy to view photos for display or possible use in Power Point Presentations, etc. If this is something you might be interested in doing please let Pastor Greg or Anita Domes know!
We Need You!. - The Trustees would like to organize a historical committ0ee for the church, to go through it’s records to organize and preserve the history for the future. This is an important group needed to keep the church history updated. Any interested individuals can contact Ethan Waterman. Phone 983-0256, e-mail or contact the church office.
