Serving Opportunities: once or twice a month, or weekly - commit to 3-6 months at a time.
Technology:
Listen closely to the leader and change the slides on the computer as they speak. This requires minimal training, and does not include one on one engagement with the kids.

Serving Opportunities: once or twice a month - commit to 3-6 months at a time.
Pre-K and Nursery
Helping Hand:
Help the teachers in the Pre-K, and toddler rooms. We have amazing teachers, we just need helpers.

Other Areas
Weekly Prep:
This would give all the people who don’t have the patience to work with kids and opportunity to serve. It would involve preparing for Sunday, during the week (Monday - Thursday, your choice on day). Making copies, cutting out pages, gathering supplies, etc. It would take about 2 hours a week. Serving Opportunities: once or twice a month - commit to 3-6 months at a time.
