CHILDREN'S MINISTRY SEEKS ONCE-A-MONTH VOLUNTEER
We have the perfect, get-your-feet-wet volunteer job for you! Melinda needs help working on projects, running errands, and organizing for our children's programs. You wouldn't need to be at church daily or even weekly--if you can commit a few hours just once a month, you would be an ideal volunteer! Are you a young stay-at-home parent who needs a reason to get dressed, leave the house, and be near adults occasionally? Here's your chance! New to retirement but don't want to over commit? Perfect! Are you one of the lucky workers of the corporate world who also has a flexible schedule? Come escape to Morningside for a relaxing change of pace! Contact Melinda msandkam@morningsidepc.org to discuss this exciting volunteer opportunity! - Laura Fillyaw, Children's Team Leader
