                              Kathleen Mccarron - Ogunquit ME Fall Morning

We need parent volunteers in our Church School! This year we are asking for a shepherd in each of our three classrooms. We ask that as a shepherd you commit to one month at a time, beginning on the second week of the month and ending with the conclusion of the third week. For example, if you sign-up for October you will join one of our teachers in their class on October 9^th, 16^th, 23^rd. This will allow our volunteers to worship on the first Sunday of the month and participate in communion. As a Shepherd you are not responsible for lesson plans, curriculum or materials. You are an extra set of hands to help with classroom management and support.

If you are interested, please visit our sign-up genius to find a time slot that works for you!
