Volunteers -                       Called 2 Serve

For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve...

Mark 10:45

You will often hear Christ Lutheran Church members and friends say, “It’s in our DNA.”
You may ask what does that mean?  
It means that all throughout Christ Lutheran’s history we have been  known as a church that serves others.    
Why serve? 
Because our Lord showed us by example, by modeling, how to love one another.
We also serve because of our gratefulness to our Lord for all he has done for us.

Barbara Young - GREETERS & COMMUNION

GREETERS:
The goal of a CLC Greeter is to make each person who enters know that he or she is welcome here, feel as comfortable as possible, and receive what information they might need.  Tasks include:
  1.  Greeting and opening doors
  2. Being warm and friendly, yet perceptive of each person’s differing comfort levels. A happy face and cheerful countenance is essential.
  3. Providing directions or simply responding to visitors to ensure they get the answers they need.
COMMUNION:
In essence the role of the Communion Assistant is to assist  in the distribution of the bread and wine at the service, and equally to assist the congregation to receive from God in the sacrament.  

I am committed to assisting all who volunteer for these roles, and ensure they are comfortable and prepared to live our my Call 2 Serve.
