Help with an activity

Coffee Hour Volunteers The Network Committee arranges for coffee and other refreshments to be served each Sunday after the church service. This activity requires a few minutes of setup prior to the service, watching that things flow smoothly during coffee hour, and a few minutes of cleanup afterwards. Team up with a few friends to share the load and for fun and fellowship. Contact Gina Atkinson to volunteer.
Fair trade coffee volunteers Fair trade coffee is looking for volunteers the last Sunday of every month during coffee hour to help distribute Fair trade coffee orders. Contact Patricia Watson to volunteer.
Ushers (inside) Contact Trish Jones to volunteer as an usher for church services.
Welcomers (outside) Contact Peter Heinz to volunteer as an outside welcomer.

Counting collection on Sundays is an activity that earns volunteer hours. So help the church and yourself and sign up for counting!
