GET INVOLVED!
Opportunities for Service and Fellowship
Our Junior Warden is forming A Team of Ministers: What's A Team of Ministers? Simply some folk like you who are willing to help out occasionally with small projects that crop up related to buildings and grounds of the church--maybe some handy work or maybe meeting service providers to escort them to their work area. The plan is to send out a list of open items each month that people can choose from as their schedules permit. These short-term projects will be above and beyond what some of our existing gardening and landscape teams tackle. The Jr. Warden will stay engaged with everyone and certainly provide help as needed. Whether you are a skilled handy-person, willing to learn, or simply able to coordinate efforts with service providers – YOU can make a difference. Please contact Chris Heerwagen if you'd like to learn more or you're interested in being part of A Team of Ministers.
