Support MinistrIes

Altar Angels

The Altar Angels are responsible for setting up the altar before each of the three services each Sunday, and for special worship events during the church year. Setup includes ensuring proper linens are used for each season of the church year, that all altar articles are present and properly placed, and that the Communion elements and supporting articles are in place for Communion services. Furthermore, Altar Angels ensure that the candles are lit before each service and that the altar and all articles are properly placed and stored following the final service. We are so thankful for their dedication and service! We would love to have you on the team!

Attendance

The volunteers who are charged with recording the attendance each Sunday ensure that the attendance folders are in place at the end of each aisle at the beginning of each service. Additionally, they play a crucial role in community outreach. Following the last service, the books are collected, the attendance sheets are removed, and the attendance is recorded. Attendance is taken to ensure that visitors are contacted so we can say, “We are glad you joined us!” It also allows us to answer any questions you may have about TCF. Moreover, members long-absent are contacted in order to provide assistance if needed by our Visitation and Hospitality Committees.

Communications

The Communications Committee seeks to communicate messages, ideas, and faith through various media forms. The committee also works as a resource for other sectors of the church, providing the appropriate media to help augment their vision and goals. Among the group’s duties are the following:

• Maintain the communications plan, in addition to updating as needed
• Assist the church in coordinating print along with internet communications to ensure that all publications and presentations have a consistent look, along with upholding the church mission
• PowerPoint presentations, signage, or other special visual media used within the church

Congregational Life including:

Visitation, MealTrains, Prayer, Grief Share

Volunteers of the Visitation Ministry engage in community outreach by offering personal care and comfort to those who are ill at home, in hospitals or care facilities, shut-in, or in need. They recognize that a smile, a hug, a quiet conversation, or simply being present can provide significant relief to those who are alone or hurting. Visitation volunteers also offer prayer, providing both human comfort and the solace that comes from our Heavenly Father. Interested in joining us? Contact Barbara for more information!

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms … If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.”  1 Peter 4:9 – 11
