Volunteers Needed
We are seeking dedicated volunteers to serve on our Christian Education Committee. As a result of our legacy meetings and the Voice of the People event, one of the highest priorities you in the congregation have set, is the strengthening of our Youth and Family Ministries. The Christian Education Committee is one of the key elements in achieving this. We need your help to move forward and plan for our future. According to the Bylaws of the OSLC
constitution, the responsibilities of the committee are to:
- Administer the total education program of the congregation.
- Select curriculum appropriate to the needs of the congregation.
- Organize physical space as needed for the education program.
- Identify and assign appropriate persons to carry out duties of the committee.
If you are interested in working to build up our Youth and Family Ministries and Christian Education programs, contact Mike Keil in the church office for more information or to express your interest.
