Elves Wanted: The Christmas Market Needs You!

Yes, the Christmas Market is creeping closer than a sneaky elf on cookie patrol!

But here's the thing: Santa’s workshop is running low on helpers, and we need an army of elves to transform our market into a winter wonderland. If you’ve ever fancied yourself a master of tinsel, a champion of hot chocolate, or just love wearing pointy hats, this is your moment!

Don’t wait for your invitation to arrive by reindeer express—sign up now and be part of the jolliest team in town!

Our local Food Pantry (located at Morgan Chapel United Methodist Church in Woodbine on Rt 94) really needs our help. They typically serve between 75 and 100 families per week. With the shutdown and job losses, they are busier than ever. 

They have 2 wonderful and dedicated senior gentlemen (Kap and Bruce)  that do ALL the food pick ups and deliveries for the Food Pantry and can really use some help. One actually comes from Pennsylvania every week! 

If you are available to lend an extra hand by carrying boxes,  you would be  meeting them at the stores (either Food Lion in Lisbon or Weis in Mt Airy) that would be fantastic. One of the men had a stroke recently and should not be lifting heavy boxes, but he is right now because he does not have much help. 

Help is needed either on Saturday mornings and/or Tuesday mornings for about 2 hours.  They typically go to the stores and load up their trucks, then go to the Food Pantry to unload the food. You could volunteer once a week (ideal) or less, whenever you can help is appreciated. 

If you happen to have a truck or large van and would be wiling to help with picking up and delivering the food that would be even better. You do not have to commit doing it every week, it could be once a month or twice a month - ANYTHING would be a great help. And you could start just by assisting them to see if you are comfortable doing the pick ups and deliveries. 

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. You must be able to lift boxes and manage stairs. 

Please contact Nancy Votta (volunteer coordinator)  or the Pastor (Reverend Jim) if you have any questions or think you could offer help. See below for contact info. 

If you would like to volunteer at the food pantry while they are open on Saturdays (from 8:30 am  to 11:15 am) please contact Nancy directly as she manages the volunteers.  We can always use an extra pair of hands and a friendly face on Saturdays. 

Bless you,

Nancy Votta

Communion Bread: Fresh bread is used for communion at both services. If you would like to be a part of this worship ministry, we would love to have you. Bread can be baked or store bought.

Children’s Chapel: But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them!” Would you like to be a teacher like Jesus? We sure could use you Sunday mornings! This is during the sermon of each service on Sunday.

Food for Fellowship: We are looking for volunteers to help by hosting food for fellowship. We are asking for light finger foods for people to snack on with their coffee. Any food items are welcome. Things such as donuts, bagels, fruit, yogurt, juice, milk, etc... If you have questions concerning this ministry, please contact Meredith.

Worship Volunteers such as: Lectors, Communio Assistants, Acolytes, Assisting Minister and more…

Our FUNraising team are always looking for people to help out. If you are interested in any of the wonderful events that they are planning, please be sure to reach out to someone on the team. To learn about what we are currently doing, visit our FUNdraising page.

Love fellowship hour? We need hosts!

Help us keep the snacks flowing by signing up for one or more Sundays. Your taste buds will thank you!
