 | Wanted: Volunteer Baristas
Hey Villagers, please consider joining our volunteer barista team at the Village Cafe. We provide a warm greeting to all our customers. What better way to give a good start to someone's day than with a nice smile and a hot cup of java? We could use a few new hands on our team for Saturday night shifts. Please join us and we'll show you how to run the espresso machine and how to say hello the Village Cafe way. Contact Crystal Maunu if you are interested in volunteering. |
Volunteer for our Landscape Team
We are looking for volunteers to be a part of our church landscape team. Our purchase of the South Village and Rita Drive homes means extra work is required to keep them looking neat and trim. The team would be involved in spreading bark dust, weeding, raking leaves and pruning shrubs and trees. If you would like to be a part of the team, please contact Alan Vore or Scott Moore in the church office. |
Be a Part of Our Reception Team
Village is looking for volunteers to be a part of our Reception Team. Volunteers will be placed on an on-call list and may be asked to assist with food preparation, setup, serving and cleanup for memorial services and other church functions. If you have a servant's heart and a few hours to spare, we'd love to have you be a part of the team. Please write "reception team" on your Friendship Card or contact Scott Moore in the church office.

Looking for your place of involvement? Well, look no further.

This is your opportunity to be a blessing and to be blessed. Sing along, visit with residents - whatever you can do, there is a place for you.
