Youth Sunday, May 20th

Don't miss this annual tradition--and usually one of the best worship services of the year. 
RE Teacher Recruitment
Currently, we are recruiting Religious Education teachers for the 2018-2019 church year. We are only about 50% recruited so please consider teaching RE this year--especially if you have not volunteered in the last couple of years.

What is the commitment?
We like to staff our teaching teams with a minimum of four volunteers.  This ensures that teacher leads class only once a month and assists once a month. Teachers are off two Sundays a month to attend service. Substitutes are available when needed, as well.
 
Can Non-parents volunteer?
Yes!  We welcome the involvement of our young adults and other congregations who do not have children in the program. 
 
What do I have to do to prepare?
You will receive training and a well-planned curriculum. For the one Sunday a month you lead class, you will need to familiarize yourself with the lesson.  If specific materials are needed (art projects, handouts), they will be ready and in your classroom on Sunday morning.
 
Count me in! How do I sign-up?

For 9:15 Service
