PARISH LIFE COMMITTEE meeting Wednesday, October 3, 7:30 pm in the Chapel. For all leaders of committees and other people interested in our common life and how we coordinate ministries and events, as well as creative ideas.
NURSERY CARE VOLUNTEER is needed for the 4 th Sunday of each month. Please consider volunteering once a month, or find a partner and you will only have to volunteer once every two months. Questions: speak with Chika Okoye or call the church office 908.852.3968.
COFFEE HOUR NEEDS NEW LEADERSHIP and we are open to creative ways of doing this. We imagine a team of two people coordinating the "eighth sacrament." They would be responsible for recruiting individuals, families or church groups to host coffee hour for a Sunday, three (sometimes four) Sundays per month, and for devising the way coffee hour is done. We need the leaders and the plan to begin on October 10th. Please contact the church office to let us know you are the person(s) we are looking for!
