OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE AT TRINITY
Trinity Church needs YOU! We need your time and talents to keep our parish alive and growing as we meet the challenges facing a corporate-sized church. If everyone would make a COMMITMENT to participate in just one activity or commission, there wouldn’t be anything that our parish family couldn’t undertake to make a difference in our church, community and the world! ALL of us are busy with our lives; ALL of us need to volunteer what spare time we have so that ALL of us can reap the joy and satisfaction that comes from pulling together as a parish family.
VOLUNTEER FOR ONE (OR MORE!) OF THE FOLLOWING:
- Church School Teacher: There is a constant need for teachers! If your child(ren) are in Church School, please volunteer to take your turn as a teacher for one of our classes. When there are numerous volunteers, we are able to have team teachers, thereby allowing a rotation of teachers so that all will have the opportunity to attend church as well as teach. Openings are from Nursery through high school. Please contact Nancy Whisonant at the Preschool Office.
