Adopting a Village
Step One: 
Healing for Susan (catch her story at http://teamsusansstory.
blogspot.com/)
 
Step Two:  "Sending Jeffrey to School".  Scholarships are now in place to send Jeffrey's to school.  Jeffrey is John Kalule's son, the Director of Engeye Clinic (to learn more about John's work visit  www.engeye.org)
 
Step Three  We're now in the process of identifying additional children in desperate need of scholarship to attend school.  If you're interested in helping you can do so for as little as $200 per year.  Contact Theresa Weinman for details and lend a helping hand today!  www.engeyescholars.com
Meet our Engeye scholars.  Susan, Jeffrey, Immaculate, Flavia, and Bena.  They will begin school in February.  More scholars are waiting to be sponsored.  You can learn more about all of them at www.engeyescholars.com

 In the Church...

One of our core values is to help people identify their spiritual gifts and to find ways to use them in ministry. I Corinthians 12 paints an image of the parts of the body working together in harmony. We're starting with some small "job listings" this week: (see the sign up sheets at worship or email us and let us know what you'd like to do!)

 

Refreshments: Share your gift of hospitality by bringing a snack for us to share after worship. Purchase a bottle of juice. We'll provide the coffee, tea, sugar, creamer and cups. One week commitment (unless you want to do more!)

 

Greeter: Arrive 15-20 minutes prior to worship and greet people as they arrive. Make sure they get a program and welcoming smile and help them find a seat if necessary.

 

Worship Assistant: We'd love to have your share your gifts of leadership by assisting with worship by sharing in worship and reading parts of the service including the Bible reading. We'll send you all the readings in advance via email. You can sign up once or once a month or whatever works with your schedule.

 

Vocalist/Song Leaders: Can you sing? We're looking for a few people who can help us with our "praise songs" during worship by providing a strong voice to "show us the way." We'd send you the music ahead of time and ask you to show up 30 minutes prior to worship for a short rehearsal with Dan. You can volunteer for every week or once a month or whatever fits in your schedule. Contact Sandy or Dan if you're interested!
