Joining Hands for Christ

Committees:
Stewardship Interpretation

Joining Hands for Christ (JHC) is the people/volunteer part of the Serving Ministry.  The gifts for ministry are varied and given in different proportions to God's people as they function in Christ's body, the church. Our purpose is derived from Romans 12: 6-8 "Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: for prophesying; for serving; for teaching; for exhorting/encouraging; for giving; for healing; for leading; for mercy; for evangelizing."  We put these concepts into action by:

       Recruiting, supporting, maintaining, and celebrating the volunteers
       Assimilating new members into our congregation
       Staying in touch with the committees and ministries
       Encouraging congregational membership

Look for our "Windows of Opportunity" poster in the narthex showing how many people give their time and energy to First Church.  The articles in the Heartbeat keep you abreast of the volunteer opportunities.
