VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES​

 

Have you been looking for ways to get involved and make a difference? There are myriad opportunities for service to the community, but it can be hard to know where to start when it comes to matching your skills and interests with the need. Fortunately, there are a couple of new ways for you to learn about volunteer opportunities and to get involved:

 

• First, check out Trinity’s newly revised and updated Reach Out and Serve booklet. Copies are available in the Narthex.

 

• Another option is to explore the United Way of Henderson County’s Volunteer Matching Program—an online, mobile-friendly portal within UWHC’s public website, listing volunteer opportunities at non-profit agencies located in Henderson County.  Members of the public can now view and apply online for volunteer positions that fit their skills and interests. Access the site by visiting www.liveunitedhc.org and click on the “volunteer” button.

Trinity is excited to invite you to join Trinity Presbyterian Knitters Ministry.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry at Trinity threads love, comfort, and prayers into each shawl; a spirit-guided outreach that blends gifts, talents and grace to celebrate God’s word. Care and the love of knitting and crocheting are combined into a prayerful ministry that creates shawls that wrap, enfold, comfort and give solace.  Each shawl will be blessed and distributed to those in need…with both the giver and the receiver feeling the unconditional embrace of our sheltering God.

 

We welcome all of you who knit or crochet to join the Prayer Shawl Ministry. You can craft in your own home and/or work on a shawl with the “Parlor Knitters” at church. Meetings are quarterly during the year. Put your faith and love into action by joining Trinity’s Prayer Shawl Ministry. Our brochures are on the “Welcome Table” at the church’s front doors.
