3. Dates for August to Remember
The first Winterfest Committee meeting will be Monday August 20th at 6pm in Room 208/210. If you're interested in helping coordinating an area of this important free block party for our community, come on out. Winterfest is coming on Saturday February 2, 2019.
Those wishing to volunteer with our after school program Wonderful Wednesday will have a training session on Wednesday August 29 at 3pm in Room 208/210. Wonderful Wednesday runs from September through April of each school year. Do you have a fun skill or talent you would like to teach the kids? Would you be willing to be a helper in one of the rooms? Come on out for the training.
4. We Need You! - We are in need of a few people to help on Sunday mornings.
- The first way is with the tech aspects of worship at our 8am and 11am worship services. We will provide all the training, but we need people to help with the PowerPoint and soundboard operations during the services. These positions are very important to the flow and experience of worship and truly add to our time together.
- The other area we are looking for people is to drive a golf cart helping transport people to and from our parking lots. This is often our first point of contact and is extremely important in helping people feel welcome.
5. Be In the Know! - One of the great things about Community is all the options and choices you have to help make disciples and build the Kingdom.
