Please sign up for our volunteer efforts at Abode Services/Tri-City Homeless Shelter in 2012. Each group, class or family unit, are asked to help at least once in 2012 with preparing lunch for Tri-City Homeless Shelter in Fremont. Please sign up on the sheet in the kitchen or see Lydia. If every group, class or family (or a couple of families joining together), we will fill the year! Even if you are not sure of your schedule yet, sign up first. You can trade with another New Life group later. If you need more information see Lydia.
Interested in baptism or membership? Pastor Katie will be holding classes for baptism and/or membership. Please see Pastor Katie if you are interested. For those who have attended this class, please let Pastor Katie know if you are ready to make a commitment.
Visitation Team: Anyone interested in being part of a visitation team to visit our number of “shut-ins” and others, please see Pastor Katie. This is a unique opportunity to grow in your “caring skills” and share God’s love with those who cannot attend church. This Easter we would like to visit Adele Steiner who is at Bay Point Nursing Home in Hayward. If we can have 2-3 of us visit her after church on Easter, this will be great. Even greater if you are able to sing to her on that day! Adele has been in the nursing home for months. We will leave together from church. It will take only one hour. Please let Pastor Katie know if you can do this special ministry and bring Christ’s love to Adele.
Staff Schedule Monday, Noon Bible Study; Tuesday, visitation and Castro Valley; Wednesday, study day; Thursday, Pinole; Friday, off; Saturday, Alameda.
