PREPARE THE SOIL
God’s Word takes root, grows, and produces fruit if it is planted in good soil. “Welcome” prepares the soil of peoples’ hearts to receive God’s Word through radical hospitality, a rich community life where everyone can feel at home and belong, bringing all those on the many peripheries of the church to the center as honored guests and families.
ARCHANGEL MINISTRY
“Welcome to St. Michael! How may I help you?” St. Michael has always been known for its friendly parishioners. Become a part of the “angels” that greet people during the week. If you are a stay-at-home mom or a retired person, we are looking for people to be in the office on weekday mornings to answer phones and greet people at the door to make them feel welcome. There may be times when you can help with a small project also.
Contact Sally Amatucci if you are interested.
FUNERAL LUNCHEON MINISTRY
- Ministers who are Food Callers, who call the volunteers who wish to donate food to the funeral.
- Ministers who prepare food for delivery to the church.
- Ministers who help set up the hall the morning of the funeral.
- Serving Ministers who come to help receive the food prior to the funeral and to set out the food for the luncheon.
- Ministers who help cleanup the hall after the funeral.
If you have some time to volunteer for this ministry, EVEN IT IS ONLY FOR 1 HOUR, we welcome your help; there are never too many volunteers.
Please contact the funeral committee chairs: Kathy Brossart 301-829-6924 or Amy Myers 443-340-4996 for more information or to volunteer. This is a ministry that is very appreciated by the families and we all will need one day in one form or the other.
