There are many great ways to server our church. The Angel Wings Ministry is one avenue that you can use and fit it into your busy schedules. There are all sorts of neat jobs. Some opportunities include delivering sermon tapes to shut-ins; preparing meals for families with loved ones in the hospital or other emergencies; providing transportation for doctor appointments; providing taxi service to grocery store, post office, pharmacy; communion stewards for Golden Years. Other ways to help are yard work for older adults (mowing grass, raking leaves, weed eating), preparing food for funerals or preparing a meal for a family with a newborn baby.

Many of the Methodist Men have already signed up to do Handy Man services for our older adults who may need a light bulb changed or batteries in smoke detectors, small repairs, and other jobs.

There are many things to do around the church and church office each week, such as: recycling the bulletins and office paper, straightening the Sanctuary after services, collecting the attendance sheets after the 11:00 service; keeping the alter and candles on the alter clean, just to name a few.

If any of these jobs interest you, please call the church office at 285-4503. We can help coordinate the service you choose to do.

Thank you for the many things you already do in response to God’s love through your prayers, presence, gifts and service.

Kitchen Ministry

The Hospitality team meets several times during the year to pray, contemplate and discuss what hospitality is and what it looks like in the Church.  These conversations led to a renewed Kitchen Ministry team that lovingly prepares food on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and many special occasions.  This ministry provides many opportunities for service and allows for quiet service to others in provision of food to local families in response to the instruction to feed the poor.
