Who did that?

It was a quiet day at church due to the big snow storm that rolled in. I went down at noon and saw Sue K. shoveling the walks out front. Bet you wondered who did that? Maybe you didn't? There are a lot of things that happen at church every day that the average person in the pew doesn't think about.

Our ministry takes paid staff and lots of volunteers to fulfill the call we have in the community. Adele Cofer, Sandy Stone, Don Walberg, and Will Calderon are all paid and work part time at church. We just hired Fred Green to do youth ministry for us. Everything else that is done at church is done by volunteers.

For example last week Harry and Dot Calkins, Carol Calkins and Bob Walker spent the morning folding and preparing the newsletter to go out. Julio Sanchez, Len Miller, Jim Volpe and Jack Greenwood all coach our teams in the Church league. Rosie Main, Sandra Lucien, Fran Rogers, Rachelle Weimer, Zelda Earle, Doris Calkins, Laura Krefer, Kristen Deptulski and Curt Brockway teach in the Sunday School. George Rezendes, Lori Lord and Cynthia Strouse work together to do the opening exercises.

Then there are the choir members and Praise team who provide musical leadership for our worship. There are the ushers that Bob Walker calls on to greet us every week. I think you get the idea. There is always a job to do and it gets done when someone steps up to volunteer. So is there something you would like to do? Have you noticed something that is not getting done? Come talk to me and let's see if we can make it happen.
