Do you volunteer on Sunday morning? Are you a part of Kidztown, Seaside, the Worship, Production or First Impressions Teams? If so, you need to make sure you read this blog post because we have a few changes to announce.
Each year, the end of summer marks the beginning of a busy time in the life of Cornerstone Church. Our members and attenders settle back in to a regular routine, and we see many new people coming through our doors each Sunday morning. To prepare for this time, we have made a few changes:
- Volunteer Gathering Room- We now have a dedicated room for ALL Sunday morning volunteers to call their own. This room will be available every Sunday morning beginning this week just before 8 am until the end of the last service. It will be a place for volunteers to grab a snack, a cup of coffee and just spend some good time with each other. We will also spend a few moments preparing for each service through announcements and prayer. We encourage you to bring your children but ask that you are together as a family in this room. The room is called Sampson’s Barber Shop, and you can find it next to the barber pole down the Cornerstone Kids hallway.
- Name change for the First Impressions Team- While creating positive first impressions is what we are challenged to do each Sunday morning, the name “First Impressions Team” can be confusing to new people. To better describe this team and make it more consistent with the experiences people have every day, we are now called the “Guest Services Team”.
- Three Things to Commit To Doing- We are asking all of our Sunday morning volunteers to commit to no less than these three things.
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before the worship service time for which you will be volunteering. This will allow you time to prepare your heart and your thoughts for serving others.
- Learn the Basic Safe Sanctuary policies that apply on Sunday morning. Safe Sanctuary is a program that provides guidelines to keep our youth and children safe when they are involved in programs at Cornerstone. The more volunteers who know these policies, the better we can insure the safety of our children. A copy of these policies will be available each Sunday morning in Samson’s Barber Shop.
- Live out our Mission Statement of “Leading People to Know and Serve Jesus”. This will mean different things to different volunteers, and it will also depend on the area in which you serve. We just ask that your thoughts are focused on our mission statement and that your actions reflect these thoughts.
Volunteering on Sunday morning or, to be more precise, serving on Sunday morning, is ministry. It is an integral part of the worship experience each and every Sunday. What you do has the potential to change the heart of someone coming to Cornerstone. Be focused and alert, live out our mission of “Leading People to Know and Serve Jesus” and know that you truly make a difference.
