MINISTRIES

There is a ministry for everyone

Notes from the Music Director… 

 

     Special music selections continue to replace the choir anthems during the summer.  Special music is simply a solo or group, vocal and/or instrumental, of open music genre which would be fitting for a church service.  You can always check a selection with me or Pastor Chris if you aren’t sure.  I know that I will be gone for several Sundays during the summer, so I will not be able to fill the gap on those Sundays. 

Looking ahead:  Unfilled  August dates are the 16th and 30th.   I will be out of town on August 16th.  Please contact me to volunteer for any dates that you might wish to serve or if you have questions.  Information is needed for bulletin preparation the Monday before you serve in worship.  Thank you!

Take Note:  Sunday, August 9th: the Ecumenical service  (9:30) in the Town Square.

 

     Please contact me to volunteer for any dates that you might wish to serve.  Information is needed for bulletin preparation the Monday before.  Thank you!

Social Justice Team

 meetings are held on the 3rd Sunday of the month in Fellowship Hall at 11:30.

 

Our Social Justice Team started meeting on March 24, 2024 and our number one concern was "Poverty and Homelessness."  This group determined a feasible goal would be to look into establishing a warming shelter to provide a hospitable place in Watertown for those out in the cold. 

* Watch this space  --  Social Justice Team meetings are held on the 3rd Sunday of the month.  Contact the church office with questions .     

 

Videographer/Tech Update....

     Thank you to our current recording team, Pamela Martin, Dale Bakke, Jerrold Martinez, Bill Edington, Juanita Edington.

     We record each service and are looking to expand our camera operators.  The primary responsibilities are to run the camera focusing on the “action at the moment” (the liturgist, acolyte, minister, choir, or special musician/s) and make microphone adjustments as needed.  Please contact Bill Edington or me if you are interested and when you are available. 

Training is available.  Thanks.
