Looking for musicians!
We are looking for musicians who would like to offer their musical gifts on worship team. This could be playing acoustic/electric guitar, vocals, piano, drums, or another solo instrument to add musical color. If you have been interested in making music in worship this way, please reach out to Ariana Recher: ariana@salemwestpres.org.
The Stephen Ministry Team would like to expand! If you are a person who likes to spend time with people, listen to others’ stories, and offer caring concern and support, then consider becoming a Stephen Minister. Being a Stephen Minister is one way to reach out to people who are going through difficult and painful times. It is also a way we can individually carry out our mission of We Welcome, We Serve, We Grow. If you want to learn more about being a Stephen Minister, talk to anyone on the Stephen Ministry Team, (those of us with the blue name tags), or check out the resources on the table
below the bulletin board in Boulder Hall.
Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Table of Plenty in Dire Straits! Table of Plenty, the only large food bank in our area, is running out of food and the means to purchase more. Table of Plenty is a self-sustaining food bank relying solely on donations. Providing food for between 40 and 70+ families each week takes a tremendous amount of food, and our donations to TOP have been, of late, quite meager. Prior to COVID, our donations were quite high, with our crew taking the food at least once per month over to TOP. We had years where our total food donations for the year were not in pounds, but in TONS! SO, please bring some packaged or canned food for our TOP boxes when you come to church for worship services, meetings, etc. And if you are unable to carry or do not wish to bring food but want to contribute to the cause, monetary donations are always accepted and welcomed. There are items on sale that the committee purchases to fill empty shelves. The TOP board has even spoken about having to close if there are not more contributions to the food bank, and that would be quite a hardship on the many families that rely on the assistance they receive.
We are looking at doing a Trunk or Treat again this year safely in the upper parking lot on SUNDAY OCTOBER 27th from 5-6:30 PM. We would have host cars arrive at 4:45 to get set up. If you are willing and interested in hosting a car this year, please let us know via email ASAP (vik@salemwestpres.org)! Decorating your trunk is totally option, but fully encouraged! We hope this will be a fun, safe, and enjoyable time for our families to be together outdoors this fall! If it rains like last year, we'll be indoors in Boulder Hall again.
