As our children's ministry continues to grow, we are in need of more volunteers. Our children's ministry is not only a blessing to our children but teaching our children is an absolute necessity for  making disciples of the Lord Jesus. There is a place for every believer to serve in ministry. Currently, we are looking for additional teachers and classroom helpers who can be a part of a regular teaching/classroom rotation. We need volunteers in classes up through 5th grade. If you are considering serving in this area, please contact Amber Dhanawade or the church office.

Our nursery is also expanding with new little faces each week! As our youngest members multiply, so does our need for loving, dependable volunteers to help care for them during Sunday services. If you would consider serving in the nursery, please contact Glenda Litz by calling the church office.

We have a wonderful opportunity to come alongside two families in our church community by providing meals during a time of need. If you're able to help, please use the Meal Train links below to sign up.

A few helpful tips:

• Prefer not to use Meal Train? No problem—just call the church office and we’ll get you signed up.
• Not a fan of cooking? Restaurant gift cards or delivery through DoorDash or Grubhub are great alternatives. (Just a heads-up: these services include fees and suggested tips.)
• The Bougher family lives a bit farther out in Spencer. If delivery is tricky, contact Melinda or the church office to arrange a drop-off at the church—we’ll make sure it gets to them.
• Questions? Reach out to the church office. We’re happy to help!

Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ to these families!

The church will provide coffee, milk, and juice. Please bring a breakfast dish to share. (Ideas: Egg casserole, cinnamon rolls, muffins, fruit trays, biscuits and gravy, donuts, etc)
