Ministry Volunteer Opportunities
The bridge spanning the ravine in the side yard is in desperate need of repair. Chas and Richard Hutchinson are are investigating the best way to repair/replace it. They are looking for a few volunteers to help. If you’re available, let one of them know.
We would like to add to our list of Licensed Eucharistic Ministers (LEMs) and readers. If you are interested, please talk with Chas or a Vestry member.
The end of the year is fast approaching, and at the Annual Congressional Meeting in January we will be electing two new Vestry members to replace Renay Siebenschuh and Ellie Stryker, whose terms are ending. Please consider whether this could be a way for you to serve the church and let Chas know if you’re interested. If you would like more information about the duties of the Vestry, talk with one of the current voting members (Ellie, Renay, John Contoni, Pat Kruizenga, Gladys Aviles, or Kristin Brewer).
Please consider helping with the weekly cleaning. There is a sign up sheet in the coffee area that lists what needs to be cleaned each week. Right now, Kristin Brewer does it all, but she really could use help.
