Help needed. Just one hour a week to maintain our red registry books for each Sunday. Volunteering on Thursday or Friday would be best. Call Chris at 586.5413.
-
9:45 worship attendees: Could you help with Fellowship Time by fixing coffee, hot water, and juice at 9:00 a.m.? No clean up needed. This would be a very helpful ministry to our whole church. Call Kerry at 586.5413.

Sunday school teachers needed: Each age group has a four-person team, for an average commitment of two days a month. Teacher training will be held Saturday, September 8, from 10:00 a.m. until noon in the sanctuary, with class team planning from 11:00 until noon.

Sunday morning worship services: It may look effortless, but worship services don't just happen without valuable volunteers.

Nurture Care Team: These compassionate volunteers minister to our congregation in so many ways.
-
And much more: There are many additional opportunities to help, whether it's one-time only or an on-going commitment.
Worship Team
To help with worship services, contact Chris Robison-Cox at 586.5413, extension 108.
| Altar Flowers |
Altar flowers grace our sanctuary every Sunday of the year. You may sign up to bring flowers or have them ordered by calling Chris. Garden bouquets are always welcome. |
| Communion Servers |
In the United Methodist Church, communion is open to all regardless of age or church membership. We serve bread or rice wafers and grape juice. Serving communion to others is a meaningful experience. Adults and young people who have completed confirmation class are welcome to join us in serving. |
| Lay Readers |
Adults and youth can participate in worship on Sunday mornings by reading the scripture and a Psalm at one of the worship services. |
| Liturgical Design |
The Liturgical Design Team is a group of women and men who use their artistic gifts to create a welcoming, comfortable, and beautiful church environment for each liturgical season. |
| Ushers |
Ushers play a vital role on Sunday morning. They help newcomers feel comfortable and welcomed, and they also help with collecting the offertory and occasionally serving communion. Your help is wanted for this important ministry. |
Nurture Care Team
To become part of the Nurture Care Team, contact Roxie Curtis at 586.5413, extension 103.
| Agape Team |
Our dedicated Agape Team provides services to families during a funeral, with food, help, nurturing, and serving the reception. |
| Bread Ministry |
The Bread Ministry Team bakes fresh bread and delivers it to newcomers who attend church on Sunday mornings. |
| Coffee Hour Team |
This dedicated team of individuals makes sure there are hot and cold drinks and some snacks for fellowship time between services on Sunday morning. |
| Outreach Meal Team |
Every couple of months, this team gets together and makes casseroles and soups for our church families in need. |
|
Shepherds
|
Shepherds take care of our church family. If someone is ill, they make arrangements for whatever would be helpful: meals, running errands, child care, and other help. Shepherds try to keep our large church family well loved and cared for. |
| Prayer Chain |
Anyone can call with a prayer request, and anyone who is willing to pray for others and our community is welcome to become a part of a prayer chain. We currently have three very active chains going. |
| Visitation |
The visitation group is an exciting new group. Some people are “buddying up” with a person in a nursing home, and others are going out and visiting shut-ins, folks in the hospital, and newcomers to our church. |
Other
To participate in any of these additional, necessary ministries within the church, please call the office at 586.5413.
| WOW Team | Wesley's Outreach Wednesdays. The WOW Team is our youngest mission team, working to make a difference in our church, community, and world. For kindergarteners through 5th-graders, the WOW Team meets on Wednesdays from 3:45 to 5:00 in the Tower Room. After ringing the bell and a snack, the children "do some good," such as baking cookies, helping the food bank, making cards, or other activities. |

This very helpful group meets monthly to prepare The Chimes, our church newsletter, for mailing. |

The Library team is composed of a dedicated group of people who do various tasks to help keep the library running smoothly. |
| Memorial Team |
This group cares for the memorial gifts the church receives. |
| Stitchers |
This group has already created an awesome legacy for our church: They finished 14 kneeling cushions (10 volunteer stitchers, nearly 5 years, and 9,000 hours to accomplish) for communion use in our Sanctuary. Now, they are on to smaller projects like confirmation and new member bookmarkers. The Stitchers meet every Thursday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the Library. |
| Youth Group Meal Providers |
Many people volunteer to prepare and serve food to our youth at their Wednesday night meetings. The youth really appreciate the time they get to talk and share with one another over a meal. If you can help us out once this year, please sign up. |
| Kitchen Cleaning Crew | This exciting mission opportunity is a wonderful way to make a clean difference in our church. Remember, it's always more fun to clean someone else's kitchen! |
