Christian Education/Sunday School
We are blessed with so many children at Bem Church. We are in need of volunteers to help with a variety of activities on Sundays (see next page). The sign up sheets are in the Narthex.
For all of these ideas to work, the entire congregation needs to engage in the programming of the church. We need the following volunteers:
· Readers for Worship
· Greeters
· Technology
· Fellowship Time hosts
· Sunday School teachers (3)
-Grades PK-2
-Grades 3-6
-High School
-Confirmation will be taught by Pastor Jeff
· Sunday School assistants (1-2)
Extra set of eyes, ears and hands to assist with classes
· Children’s Church leader
· Children’s Church assistant
To volunteer, sign up on the chart in the Narthex, or see Pastor Jeff or any member of the Christian Education Committee. In order for our program to continue to grow, we need a lot of volunteers.
The more people who help, the lighter the work will be.
