TCC runs on volunteers!
Greeting Ministry
We are re-launching our Sunday Greeter Ministry. If you would like to serve as a Greeter on Sunday mornings, email
adam@tccwayland.org.
Additional
Ushers Still Needed…
Our mission: To welcome every visitor and member to the house of God!
What is needed: Ushers are absolutely critical in helping newcomers form their first impression of TCC. You help set the tone for the worship experience to come. You are representatives of God’s kingdom. You’re not just opening doors, providing information, handing out bulletins or collecting the offering, you are making people feel welcome!
Could you help one Sunday morning a month?
Please contact Debbie Wilson at office@tccwayland.org or 508-358-7717.
Coffee Hour needs YOU!
If you enjoy having a cup of coffee while chatting with others during the 10:30 Fellowship time, please sign-up (alone or with your Small Group) to host a coffee hour!
You don’t even have to provide snacks – just make, set up and then clean up the coffee and tea!
(Easy instructions provided – click here to see what is involved!)
Participation gives you and your group an opportunity to serve the Lord and is greatly appreciated by your fellow members
.
Please sign up at the Connection Hub this Sunday or contact Robin Spinale, our new Coffee Hour Coordinator!
Volunteer Offering Counters Needed …
Are you accurate and reliable? Volunteers count the weekly offering (mostly checks for deposit) each Sunday, and we are in need of new helpers. Offering counters work in pairs.
Contact Aimee Mury at Contributions@tccwayland.org or 508- 358-7717, x303 if this might be a way you could help us. Training provided!
