An Office Volunteer Ministry is being
developed here at Messiah. Our goal
will be to provide a welcoming and
caring first impression of Messiah,
through trained volunteers who man the
church office alongside a paid office
assistant. Duties of the volunteer will
include answering the phone, taking and
distributing messages, sorting mail,
helping with occasional
special projects, greeting visitors and
other responsibilities as
|
|
each individual is comfortable.
Volunteers are being sought to work one
time per month from 9 am until 12:30 pm,
although you can volunteer more often!
We are asking that volunteers make a one
year commitment to this new ministry.
This volunteer ministry will support
Messiah Lutheran Academy as it is
getting off and running, through the
addition of an another person in the
church office. A sign-up form will be
place in the bulletin each week during
the months of July and August, or until
all of the volunteer spaces have been
filled. The new ministry will begin in
September. Please prayerfully consider
offering your service to Messiah and MLA
through this special new opportunity. A
training session will be held to help
volunteers be comfortable in the church
office. You may contact
Anndra with any questions.

New and slightly loved children books are needed
for Messiah Lutheran Academy Classrooms. Books
should be appropriate for children ages 2-5. A
collection box will be placed outside of the
sanctuary. Please consider showing your support
for MLA by donating books! The Book Drive will
continue through the month of July. In August,
we will begin collecting school supplies. For
more information, contact
Anndra.rowland@gmail.com |
 |
 |
As the upcoming school year grows near, we still
have many tasks to complete before MLA is ready
to accept our students. Mainly, at this point,
we need to assemble furnishings and toys. If
you are able to assist in the assembly, please
call Anndra in the church office. You are
welcome to work at anytime that is convenient
for you! |

this in the budget. So if we wish to continue to
enhance our worship with flowers, these vacancies
must be filled. If you are willing to donate, please
