Hospitality
The
Parish Pastoral Council is concerned with the total mission of the parish, including its spiritual, educational, and temporal needs. It is an advisory board responsible to the pastor. Members are elected to a three-year term and attend regular meetings on the second Monday of each month.
The Finance Committee, along with the pastor, sets the annual parish budget. Meeting regularly, the group also monitors cash flow and financial activities by reviewing financial reports. The Finance Committee is called on to approve major expenditures and to assist with special fundraising projects. Members are added by direct request from the pastor.
The Welcoming Committee plays a vital role in welcoming visitors and new members of our parish family. They present each newly registered family with a packet of welcome materials and serve as a source of hospitality for parishioners and visitors alike. The time commitment to this committee is small, but important and lasting.
The Parish Library is a collection of spiritual books (religious, seasonal, family life, meditations, biographies, etc.), CDs, and videos, suitable for both adults and children. They are available for use by any parishioner. Volunteers assist with maintaining resources and adding/cataloging new materials, working individually on a rotating basis, with occasional team work days as needed.
The Liturgical Decorating Committee prayerfully plans and decorates the sanctuary for the various liturgical seasons throughout the year.
The Garden Ministry ─ All gardeners are invited to share their talents to maintain the parish grounds and gardens, doing all the things you do in your own yard (except mowing the grass!). You may take care of a specific area on your own or work with others on larger projects. We schedule a monthly Saturday work day during warm weather.
The Parish Picnic is a yearly social event with food, games, and fellowship. It is planned by the Picnic Committee, whose responsibility is to plan, set up, and organize the games and events for the picnic, as well as secure prizes for these events. The volunteers help with set-up and clean-up, as well as overseeing the food and games during the picnic.
Special Event Volunteers assist with event planning, set-up, and clean-up, as the need arises.
