Seek the City Volunteers Still Needed
Seek the City is a week of ministry which begins next Sunday, June 17, and continues through Friday, June 22). We still need many volunteers from the congregation for the week to run smoothly and for our youth and adult missionaries to be able to minister to people on their worksites.
As of Thursday, June 7, we still need 174 food/serving volunteers (mainly casserole preparation), 38 worksite volunteers (VBS check-in, lunch making, clean up), and 94 snack donations for the concession stand. In addition, there are only 22 people signed up for the Prayer Team. Please consider helping out by going to the Seek the City webpage and signing up for one (or more!) areas that you can help with. |
