Worship Care VOLUNTEERS
Please check out the schedule rotation here: https://drive.google.com/…/16Jm4IDnRyWJmvthz0HN…/view…. If you cannot serve on your scheduled day, please use the information on the schedule to contact another person or couple directly to arrange to swap days with them. Let Lindsay know if you do swap, and please let her know if you have a hard time finding someone to swap and she can help! WHAT IF IT RAINS? As we are still keeping the bigger kids outside for the entire time, Worship Care is dependent upon good weather. Parents and volunteers, if we are cancelling Worship Care we will email and post in the Facebook group on Saturday night. We will email and post to confirm either way if there is any chance of rain in the area. (If Worship Care is cancelled on your day to serve, you will be moved to the bottom of the schedule.) WHAT IF IT GETS COLD? We are thinking about and praying about and working on what to do about that very soon! If you would like to serve on our Worship Care rotation, please call 334-272-2304 or email [email protected].
