VOLUNTEERS NEEDED/CHILDREN’S CHAPEL

Volunteers are needed to serve as assistants for Children's Chapel.  Our Safe Church policy requires that two adults must be present for any activity involving children.  Assistants are not required to do any advance preparation for the lessons but may be asked to assist the leader during a session.  Serving as the second adult is the primary duty of an assistant.  Persons who have not served as an assistant in the past will be required to take an online training session on the Safe Church policy.  Service will be infrequent as a substitute.  If you are willing to serve in this role please contact Fr. Jamie (frjamieparsley@gmail.com) or Katie Sando (puppynanny623@gmail.com).
