Set Up/Clean Up Crew
If you value children’s ministry, but don’t see yourself teaching, maybe this opportunity is for YOU.
Due to sharing space with the ECOBCC, our children’s ministry needs to set up and tear down our rooms every Sunday. We are looking for a few volunteers to do this.
This would require a 30 minute commitment either before 9:30 or immediately after second service. There are jobs which require lifting, and jobs that don’t.
If you are interested in serving in this way, please contact michelle@ecob.church.  Thank you for believing in our littlest disciples!
