_________________________________
Upper Elementary (Gr. 3-5) are welcome to join weekly in-church service opportunities:
- Acolyting
- Ushering / Greeting / Bell Ringing (fun to do with a friend!)
- Reading a lesson in church
We really hope you’ll try an in-church position alongside Sunday school and music obligations. Working alongside the ushering team or at the altar with Rob and Anne is a wonderful learning experience in how we do what we do at SJC. Without these teams in place, it wouldn’t feel the same. Get to know where you fit into the bigger community!
