Each year, we join together in tasks that enable us to worship as God’s family and carry out our congregation’s ministries. In assigning these tasks, we do our best to share responsibilities among everyone as well as anticipate personal needs. Thus, it is helpful to know any special requests you may have for Feb. 2012 - Jan. 2013. Please mark them on this sheet and place in the offering OR return to the office by Jan. 15. Please cross out any you feel you absolutely cannot do or indicate any special scheduling preferences. If an item is neither checked nor crossed out, we will make assignments as needed. For multi-member households, please write names by each area. We give thanks to God for your prayerful willingness to share in these tasks – and for all who offer time and talents in service of our Lord!
