Important Volunteer Opportunity!
We are looking for a few good people to be Shomrim. Could it be you?
Shomrim are our first greeters, providing a joyful and welcoming entrance to Mount Zion. Shomrim are also trained for safety and security but are not expected to do anything extraordinary. Shomrim are needed for Friday and Saturday services and for Wednesday and Sunday religious school class times.
There will be a training on Tuesday, June 14, 6:00 pm.
