Seek the City Volunteers Still Needed
Seek the City is a week of ministry which begins this 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.
What a GREAT response we had last week!! Thank you for volunteering to help out in so many ways! We have closed a big gap, but as of Wednesday, June 13, we still need:
- 23 food/serving volunteers (mainly casseroles),
- 18 worksite volunteers (mainly clean up), and
- 50 snack donations for the concession stand.
There is still time to volunteer for these things - even after Sunday, so don't think you're too late to help! To sign up to volunteer, just go to the Seek the City webpage and scroll down to the buttons that take you to the different volunteer areas. Thanks in advance for all that you do to help our youth minister to the community! |
