Create Slides for Worship Services! Join the team that creates the slides for each week’s Sunday service. It’s a fun, creative job. A one-hour training is all that’s needed. It takes about 2 hours to create the slides for each service, mostly on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Each team member does it 1/4 of the time. The other team members are Emily Stoper, Dan Wright, and Kem Tetlow. Contact Emily Stoper if interested.
Children and Youth Cottage Conversations! Two members of the Search Committee will join the children and youth programs in the coming weeks. They will engage in age-appropriate ways about what it means to be in search, how the children and youth describe our congregation, and what they would want our new minister to do with our congregation. The older children will also have the opportunity to complete a very short questionnaire. We ask parents and guardians to help assure that their children attend the conversations. Sunday, 11/04 High schoolers (after the service). Sunday, 10/21 Cottage COnversation with the Coming of Age kids (during the service)
No conflict with Halloween festivities! Questions? Please contact Donna Fujioka.
