Spotlight on Church Office Volunteers
|
Guess how many of our office volunteers are going to France with the choir and volunteering at VBS?
The church office depends on our wonderful volunteers who answer phones, greet visitors and otherwise make the office run efficiently. Many of our regular volunteers will be unavailable during much of June. If you have ever considered volunteering in the church office, this would be a great time! You can try it on a short term basis and decide if you might enjoy it full time. Volunteers work 9 am - 1 pm or 1 - 5 pm one day a week. In addition to the short term opportunities, we currently need a regular volunteer on Thursday mornings.
Men and women are welcome. Contact Wanell Soslow, wanell@fumc-rr.org, or 512.255.3336.

Do you have time and talents to offer but you're unsure how to get involved?
Whether it's world travel or web development, construction or coordination, the many missions at First Church want to get you engaged! The Villages team is hosting Mission Month every Sunday in June in the common area next to Payne Cottage in between services. Each week, different active missions will have volunteers and information available to help you learn about the many awesome things our church is doing locally and internationally and providing an easy way for you to get engaged.
Please stop by and find your passion!

Children's Ministry Mission for Spring is the Heifer Project
For the entire spring semester, all children's Sunday School offerings are going toward the purchase of livestock for needy families. Each class selected a certain animal as their goal to purchase.
Heifer International puts faith into action with its time proven principle of
passing on the gift. Every family who receives livestock agrees to pass on one or more of its animal's offspring to another neighbor in need.
5.6.2018 Update:
Children's Ministry is celebrating the incredible progress of the Heifer Mission! Every grade has achieved at least their first, if not their second goal or third goal! The first graders have added a fourth goal. It is a tight race between 1st and 5th graders to see who can collect the most. We are so proud of these kids. They have collected a total of $2088!
