Church Family News

Communion Sunday

Today we will be passing communion plates for those partaking in the auditorium. The deaconesses will have pre-packaged communion elements for anyone, inside or outside, who would prefer to use them as we worship together at the Lord’s Table. We now have a gluten free option for those with special dietary needs.

Children’s Church

Interested in helping with children’s church? We are looking for one more regular classroom helper or two to three more occasional substitutes. See Pastor Matt for more details.

Pastor Matt’s Vacation

Pastor Matt is on vacation until July 5. If you need any assistance while he is gone, please contact any of our elders (Keith Folmar, Cody Crumrine, Abe Skacel, or Joel Michaels) or the church office.

Family Bible Week

Looking for volunteers for FBW. There are many roles that need to be filled. We are looking for classroom helpers, craft helpers, game leader and helpers, drama performer, helpers for set-up, tear down, and garbage removal.

The Hospitality Team is looking for volunteers to help in the kitchen to help prep the food, serve, and clean-up. You can also make desserts/cookies, help precook food (ground beef, pork, pasta) or donate food items. They are also looking for volunteers to go shopping Saturday, July 16th with Linda Carlson to get supplies.

Our FBW Finale will be a Creativity Fair. See Steph Quick about getting involved.
