Service Volunteers: If you are unable to serve on an assigned date, please request a replacement.

Want to know if we need additional volunteers for a specific week? Click one of the service schedules below. If you see a +Add button on a particular serving role, that means someone has declined their assignment, and we still need a volunteer to fill in. You can click +Add to sign up for that spot.

Loving, Liberating and Life-Giving
