Volunteering at Noel
 
As members of Noel, we commit ourselves to uphold this church we love by our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service and our witness.  Volunteering in our many ministries is not only a blessing to those we serve, but to ourselves.  Please take some time to pray about where God is calling you in ministry, then pick up one of our Ministry Opportunities Brochures around the church or online and let us know what speaks to you.
 
Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.'  Matthew 25:40
