Meals on Wheels with Middle Schoolers
Again this summer, youth in our church are invited to help out with Cabarrus Meals on Wheels' deliveries. One of the most important commandments of scripture calls us to reach out in love to help the weak, the vulnerable and the elderly.  Every Monday, beginning July 10th and going through August 14th, two adults from the church will take two youth with them to deliver meals. We will meet in the upper parking lot by the Fellowship House at 10:10 am, travel to the CMOW office/kitchen in Kannapolis to pick up the food, and then deliver our route. Youth will be dropped off at their homes afterwards (usually around noon). Youth and adult volunteers can sign up  here .  Note that volunteers over the age of 18 should have completed the screening for the Child and Youth Protection Policy.  Questions? Call Sallie Dotger at 704-786-8250!

Lay Liturgists for Worship Needed
God gives us many gifts and as a church we joyfully work together to worship, learn, and grow.  Help us as we worship! Sign up here to be a lay reader to share God's word with us in worship as you read scripture on Sundays. Materials and information will be sent to you for the week that you sign up.
