Adopt a Bathroom
Think about how many people visit the bathroom on any given day. We would like someone to adopt each bathroom and fill up the baskets with "homey" items that people need. Maybe it's a band-aid, hair-spray, or a mint. Contact Paul Wetterling.

Garden Team
Beautifying our grounds takes many hands. In the spring and fall, there are once-a-season group work dates that include light-duty and some heavy-duty work. And, there are also opportunities for light maintenance throughout the season such as pulling weeds and deadheading spent flower blossoms. If you enjoy working with plants, contact Lynne Hagen.

Mailing Team
Would you be willing to be "on-call" to help the church with mailings from time to time? You would receive a call one to two days before the mailing needs to go out. Stuff, seal, and address envelopes. Great opportunity to meet others. Contact Linda Pickett.

Every Sunday we have hundreds of worshipers coming through our doors, but it wouldn't be possible in the winter if the facilities weren't shoveled out. Just show up with a shovel or consider being on the Shovel Out Team. Contact Paul Wetterling.
