OFFERING OUR TIME AND TALENTS

First Presbyterians can be found serving in ministry in many capacities in our local community and beyond. To highlight a few:

• Tutoring at Barth Elementary School.
• Leading a Book Busters group at Barth Elementary School.
• Home construction for Habitat for Humanity.
• Hosting and serving free Community Meals every Thursday at our church for neighbors in need.
• Annual week-long trips to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance sites to repair and rebuild homes affected by natural disasters.
• Installing clean water systems in villages in Honduras

Around the church, there are many opportunities for volunteers to participate in ministry from one-off opportunities, to once or twice a year, to monthly or weekly. For example, here are some of the ways that church members share their time and talents around the church:

• Choirs
• Sunday School teachers (we use teams so no one has to be there every week)
•  Youth Group Advisors
• Young Children and Worship Leaders
• Childcare volunteers
• Counters (help us follow good financial practices with our money!)
• Decorating/Flowers
• Gardening/Grounds
• Transportation
• Preparing meals for the recently hospitalized
• Library
• Serving on one of the ministry committees that meets monthly (Administrative, Hospitality, Mission, Spiritual Formation, and Worship)
• Compassion Hospitality Team for funeral lunches
• Lay readers
