Opportunities to serve
Where can I serve at SPC?
Wherever you feel called! As you look through the website, you'll find opportunities abound to serve God here at the church, locally in our community and thousands of miles away in our global village. If you would like some direction, fill out and submit the SPC Talents, Skills & Interests Survey. We will take your information and be able to plug you into a ministry area that fits you!
Are there critical needs at the church and in the community right now?
Here are some areas in which we need servants or other help right away. Just click and send an email for more information or to express interest:
- Prayer Ministry is looking for servants. We are looking for participants in our After Worship Prayer Team. Members of the After Worship Prayer Team spend a few moments after church on Sundays, privately and confidentially listening to prayer needs of the congregation and lifting them up in prayer. Opportunities are available immediately after the the 9:00 and 10:45am services each Sunday. To express interest, or to find out more, email Becki Barrett.
- We are Seeking a Coordinator for the SPC Seniors' Ministry.
The Seniors' Ministry Team is a group of talented and dedicated individuals who plan and serve a monthly lunch to the Seniors in our church community. The team is currently in need of a volunteer who will plan speakers or programs to be offered at each luncheon (about a 4-5 hour commitment per month). This person could also serve as the emcee of the luncheon, making announcements and acting as a host. If you have a gift for event planning and would be interested, please contact Mary Lu Washko at mlwedw@comcast.net or Shelli Vlastelica at shellivlastelica@spconline.org. - Help Seniors in our Community. Through Faith in Action, you can make a real difference in seniors' lives by helping them to live independently in their own homes. When you serve through Faith in Action, you might assist seniors with: rides to/from medical appointments and other errands; help with housekeeping, handyman tasks, yard work; bringing people together for social visits. To find out more, please email faithinaction@spconline.org.
- Heartcrafters
Would you like to be part of the Children's Ministry, but aren’t able to commit to teaching Sunday School? Consider joining Heartcrafters! This group of wonderful women meet the second and fourth Mondays of the month at 1pm in Room C-201 to prepare crafts and materials for Sunday School. To learn more, or join the team, contact Donna Wilson.
- Ambassadors
SPC’s “Ambassadors Ministry” seeks to welcome newcomers to the SPC family. This team of volunteers staffs the information table on Sunday mornings and serves those who are new to the SPC community. "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us." (2 Corinthians 5:20) The time commitment to serve as an Ambassador is minimal, but the impact of a warm and helpful welcome to visitors is lasting. To learn more about the Ambassadors Ministry contact the church office at 868-6186 or email chrisgriggs@spconline.org.
What does God have to say about serving?
In 1 Peter 4:9-10 he says,"Be hospitable to one another without complaint. As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
In Galations 5:13, "You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge in the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love."
In Matthew 25:34-36, "Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me..."
