Volunteer Opportunities

Over the past couple of years many of our volunteer positions and structures of the church were not needed due to COVID but as we have begun to recover and reopen, those positions and structures are ready for a comeback! Additionally, we are losing a couple of volunteers on our Media Team due to moving and retirement.

We invite you to look over the list below and prayerfully consider whether any of these roles are a good fit for you and a way for you to serve your faith community. If you are interested or want to learn more, please email info@shawneecommunity.org.

 

Deacons: On Sunday, help with communion set up and clean up, greet people at the front doors, help kids light candles, help visitors know where things are and where to go on Sunday mornings. Collect connect cards and offerings and bring to office. Count worship attendance and put in office.

 

Media Team: On Sunday, assist with running sound, running media slides or helping with worship livestream. Training is included so don’t worry!

 

Communications Team: The team is looking for volunteers to help take photos during community events at church, Sundays during worship and other events. Additionally, one or two volunteers are needed to assist Ashley with the presentation software on Sundays when she is on vacation.

Sunday, May 22 • 10:00 a.m.

We’ve heard of prophets in the bible. We generally think of them running around in hair shirts, having locusts for dinner, and shouting how bad everyone was. But there was more nuance to prophets in the biblical text than what caricatures want us to recognize. The need for prophets has not disappeared over the years. What’s a modern prophet look and sound like, and what role do they to play in our time? How do they speak for God and how can we know that they speak truth?  What challenge do our modern prophets present to us and are we willing to grow into the people that they believe we can be? With the idea that “Well behaved women seldom make history” we take a look at women from biblical and modern times—and how they are prophets among us.

Why Give Blood?
