IMPORTANT! Worship Volunteers Needed
Zoom Operators Needed
Because sometimes the Zoom Operators want to attend worship without any distractions. Running Zoom involves turning the computer to follow the action, admit attendees, and record worship. Helpers will be standing by.
Greeters/Ushers Needed
Welcome people at the door. Encourage them to wear a nametag. (Although THEY may know who they are, others may not.) Distribute bulletins, answer any questions they may have, take up the offering, take a count of people attending. Straighten up after the service.
Coffee Hour Hosts Needed
Set up coffee and tea, set out treats, (there are usually some kind of cookie or baked good in the FC freezer) or bake something to bring. You can even tag-team with someone - they set up and bake; another washes dishes and straightens up.
Worship Assistants
Just as the name suggests, Worship Assistants help support the pastor during the worship service. Responsibilities may include reading designated Bible passages, leading the Call to Worship, announcing hymns, and assisting with Communion. |
🍞 Help Us Build the Table – Volunteers Needed for Open Table! 🌱
Open Table is growing, and we’d love your help in making this intergenerational gathering a welcoming, meaningful experience for everyone. The gathering is the 2nd Sunday of every month from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
We’re looking for folks willing to help with: 🎨 Craft Preparation – simple, creative activities for all ages
🍲 Meal Preparation – cooking, baking, or helping serve
🪑 Set-Up & Hospitality – creating a warm, inviting space
🙏 Prayer & Welcome – helping guide the flow of the gathering
You don’t need special skills—just a willingness to be part of something rooted in community, creativity, and connection.
Open Table is about making space where everyone belongs. And it takes all of us to build that kind of table. If you’re interested in helping, reach out or sign up—we’d love to have you be part of it. There’s a place for you here, too.
Contact Pastor Phil, Pastor Leigh or Jon Ruff if you are interested in helping out! |
