Get Involved: Opportunities for Service
Once a Month, Be Part of Something Special: the
Sunday
Service team!
Our services are held in a space that is transformed each
Sunday. There are a number of opportunities for you to get involved with making our space welcoming and worshipful.
With your involvement, chairs will be set up or put away; hymnals will be set on chairs or put back in the cabinet; people arriving will be greeted and handed an order of service; there will be coffee afterwards. So, what do you say? This is our shared religious home and we aim to do Sundays well!
Sign up for a monthly assignment or find a friend to share with and each of you serve every other month! Sign up
