VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
I am always blessed to see how our church family comes together as a body of believers to serve in the various ministries of the church—and all our activities are ministries! It is a beautiful, living picture of what Paul described in his letter to the Ephesians when he said, “It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.” (Ephesians 4:11-12)
Each week we have over 150 volunteers serving in our different ministries. There is always a need for more and room for all. One or two hours a week or month can make a difference and change lives. Please consider volunteering in one of the areas below. Contact Kathy Charette by email at
[email protected], 717-2491512 ext. 227 or talk to me on Sunday mornings in the Gathering. Thanks for all that each and every one of you do! Kathy Charette Ministry Name
