This Sunday, July 26, at 10:45 AM, we will gather for a special Town Hall and Volunteer Appreciation Brunch—a time to come together as a congregation, enjoy a free hot brunch and celebrate the many people who help make ministry happen at First Lutheran.
Our volunteers are the heart of First. They are the hands and feet of God’s work in this place and beyond our walls. They welcome worshipers, teach children and youth, prepare meals, care for neighbors, make music, serve communion, tend gardens, support community partners, offer rides, lead groups and quietly take care of countless details that often go unseen.<
Through their time, gifts and faithful presence, volunteers help us live out our mission of being disciples of Jesus Christ. Every act of service—whether large or small—helps create a community where people are known, welcomed, supported and reminded of God’s limitless love.
This gathering is an opportunity to say thank you, but it is also an invitation. Those who may be interested in stepping into a volunteer role will hear about the many ministries happening at First Lutheran and discover how their own interests, passions and skills might be a good fit.
Ministry does not belong only to staff members, pastors, committees or longtime volunteers. It belongs to all of us. Each person has gifts to share, and there is a place for everyone—whether you can help once, serve occasionally or make an ongoing commitment.
You do not need special experience or all the answers. You simply need a willingness to step forward, connect with others and discover how God might work through you.
Come to the Town Hall and Volunteer Appreciation Brunch this Sunday at 10:45 AM. Celebrate the people who serve so faithfully, learn more about the ministries we share and consider where your gifts might help make a difference.
