ENDURING MISSION
Gifts of Time
We show our love for God by giving back to God and by reaching out to others. Utilizing our gifts is something that we are called to do. And that something is what we call stewardship. Our Session set up a variety of Ministry Teams which all include some of our elders and our goal is to include some of our general members on each team as well.
Gifts of time and talent are needed in many areas:
| Worship | Planning special services, reading scripture, taking the collection, hosting fellowship time |
| Prayer | Prayer chain, youth prayer partners |
| Visiting & Care of People | Pastoral care, card ministry |
| Music | Senior choir, special ensembles, handbell choir, soloist and special guest performer |
| Teaching | Sunday School teachers, assisting our Youth Leaders, helping at Vacation Bible School |
| Mission | Meals on Wheels, Community Supper in May, participating in our annual Pie Auction |
| Artistic and Hands-On | Banners, flower arrangements, decorating for special events, building maintenance, kitchen cleaning, church landscape and gardens, assisting at one of our three annual suppers – “Rabbie Burns” in January, Drive Thru BBQ in June, Take Out Turkey Supper in September. |
| Technology | Sunday worship audio and visual services, church website, Grapevine newsletter |
| Space Makers | Resourcing guest speakers and arranging in person or online opportunities for conversation and learning. Most recently this group offered a 4-session series titled “On the Journey of Reconciliation and Healing” |
