Parish Life Pick 3!
Saint Paul’s has a vibrant Parish Life that includes events for parishioners to visit with each other as well as extending hospitality to those outside our church family. You are invited to become a part of Parish Life Pick 3! It is very simple…pick three events that interest you and sign up for one or more jobs in each event!
Jobs needed for each event are typically the following:
Organizer: Person who plans the event with the Committee Chair and coordinates with volunteers for the event.
Set-up Crew: Folks who set-up up the venue and decorate.
Cooking Crew or Hospitality Team: Executive Chef and a team of Sous-Chefs or Hospitality Team sign up to bring food on the menu…unless the event is BYOF (bring your own food!).
Food service: Folks who serve food/drinks and attend tables.
Clean-up Crew: Folks who cleanup after the event…done!
Here are descriptions of the exciting events for 2019-2020! Use the Parish Life Pick 3 form below to get involved with your 3 favorites or use the button below an upcoming event to volunteer for a specific role.
