Opportunity for Generosity
January 2026
Congregational Care
If you've wondered how you might help support the day-to-day ongoing care of our church congregation and building, read about these opportunities.
Visitation
The members of the visitation committee visit with homebound members of our church family once a month. Each member of the committee is assigned 1-2 people to visit. Through this ministry deep and caring relationships are often formed. And even though you are the person going and doing the visiting, soon you’ll discover how blessed you are to be spending time with these folks. Contact Betty Whitehead.
It’s a Calling
As you flip through the bulletin on Sunday you notice there’s a prayer list. Perhaps you’ve even taken you bulletin home and prayed for the names even when you haven’t known them. Or perhaps you’ve found yourself curious, “Why is this person on the prayer list? Are they okay?” If you’ve ever found yourself here, consider joining It’s a Calling. Each month a member of this Ministry is the assigned caller and contacts everyone on the prayer list whether by phone call or card to check in on them. Contact Frankie Doyle.
Funeral Ministry
The Funeral Reception Mission Group provides blessings of concern and care for grieving families by organizing receptions following funerals or memorial services. People can support this ministry in two ways 1) in being willing to make an item of food before a funeral reception or 2) by helping to work the funeral reception with set up, serving, and clean up. If interested in joining this ministry, contact Cindy Neathawk.
Meal Train
Church members organize meal deliveries for families welcoming a new baby, recovering from illness or surgery, or experiencing a loss. To join the Meal Train email list and be notified of opportunities to provide a meal, contact Katelyn Burton.
Wrapped in Love
Wrapped in Love seeks to create items that literally help wrap our members up in love by creating baptism blankets and prayer shawls. This group makes knit or crochet blankets for children being baptized as well as tie fleece blankets for teenagers being baptized. This group also makes Prayer Shawls for members or friends experiencing illness, grief, or other challenges. If you’re interested in joining this group contact Rebecca Whaley.
Receptionists
Each weekday volunteers sit at the front desk to answer phones and transfer calls and greet and assist members and visitors who come to the church between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM. Receptionists serve in two shifts, one in the morning (8:30 AM – 12:30 PM) and one for the afternoon (12:30 PM – 4:30 PM). Some people serve weekly in this role, others one or twice a month, and still others as substitutes. Contact Julie Satterwhite.
Grounds and Building Support
Volunteers spread mulch, refinish exterior doors, weed flower beds, install new drains, paint hallways and classrooms, and help in a variety of ways to keep our building functional. More hands are always needed. Contact Mike Stacy.
Office Assistance
We regularly need helpers to come to the office to help fold publications, stuff envelopes, and prepare mailings. Other duties to assist the office staff are also needed. Contact Julie Satterwhite.
Ushers & Greeters
Each Sunday you are met by a team of Ushers and Greeters- welcoming you in at the door and again in the Narthex offering you a bulletin. You're invited to join this group as an Usher (helping with the welcoming, the bulletin, and the offering) or as a Greeter (who helps guide people where they need to go e.g. Sunday School, Nursery, Sanctuary). Usher teams serve in one-month-long rotations each year and Greeters sign up for individual Sundays. If you're interested in being an Usher please contact Kirk Martin or if you are interested in being a Greeter contact Kaitlin Swanner.
Fellowship Dinners
The Fellowship Committee is always looking for people willing to help with Fellowship Dinner. Sign up to set up, serve food, or take leftovers to RAM on Thursday morning by contacting Kathy Sebolt or by using the Sign Up in the This Week @RCPC.
Floral Guild
This team of volunteers assembles or procures flower arrangements for the Chapel and Sanctuary each week for Sunday worship. They work with the Chancel Guild to ensure the arrangements compliment the worship spaces according to the season. Contact Debbie Walkiewicz.
Chancel Guild
This team of volunteers prepares the elements for communion each month, places the correct liturgical elements in the worship spaces by season, and prepares the necessary pieces for a baptism Sunday. Some of them also help with arranging flowers for worship. Contact Caroline LaCroix.
