The same link is used to register participants and all volunteers - youth and adults. Please take a minute to register your children and yourself if you are able to volunteer. We are putting a cap on our capacity and will have a hard deadline of July 1, whichever is reached first.
 
Open registration begins on May 23 for the public, so please register early to reserve your spot.
 
We will need MANY volunteers to make this a success so thanks for considering this opportunity.
 
 
Please email Amy Heitman with any questions.
Welcome Center Volunteers Needed
We are looking for individuals or families to greet people on Sunday mornings at our Welcome Center outside of the sanctuary from 9:15 am-11:15 am. This can be a one time commitment or more frequently.

Youth are also invited to volunteer alone or with a friend. This is a great way to receive community service hours!
