Special Needs Ministry Volunteers

August 20th, 2008 by kim

The Sunday morning Special Needs Ministry needs you! We need adults and teens to staff the Special Needs Class (F002) on Sunday mornings. We provide respite care on Sunday mornings from 9:30 – 12:00 so families with children who have special needs can come be a part of our church family and worship together.

Do you have an hour you could share? If so, please contact Kim McGarr at kim.mcgarr@mtbethel.org or at 770-971-8938.

Volunteering to serve at the MUST shelter

June 3rd, 2008 by mickey

Many of you may not know that Mt. Bethel is among the many groups committed to providing volunteers to stay overnight at the MUST shelter, The Elizabeth Inn. This can be one of our most personally rewarding volunteer tasks as we interact with and learn about people who are temporarily homeless. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to find members who will spend the night. Because or our large membership, MBUMC is committed to the 5th, 12th, and 20th of every month. We need to provide at least two people each night. It works great to have a man and a woman or a family unit.

My husband, daughter and I have all stayed there and can say that it is safe and painless, and an eye opening experience when we realized that many of these homeless are families with children!  Some people have a difficult time making it to work the next day after doing laundry for the guests most of the night, but we have many times a year when one or two of the nights are on the weekend!

As of today, most of 2008 has no MBUMC members signed up after June 20th! If you volunteer for this 10 or 12 hour service to some of Cobb County’s poorest, it promises to be more of a blessing to you than to them! to volunteer please email sueleit@mindspring.com or sherry.reed@mtbethel.org.

Summer volunteer opportunities

May 22nd, 2008 by mickey

Here are some areas around the church that need you to come volunteer.

Sunday School

Did you know that Children’s Ministry will need over 85 volunteers every Sunday from June 1 - August 10 to minister to the children who will arrive to hear the Word of God at Mt. Bethel? To volunteer, contact Janis Caverlee (preschool) or Sherri Juliani (elementary) to join the team this summer.

VBS Volunteers Needed

Youth and adult volunteers are vital to the success of Vacation Bible School. Contact Dianne Hylton if you would like to volunteer your time. A free lunch is provided.

Parking Shuttle

Our parking lot shuttle, “Toby” the golf cart, runs on Sunday mornings from 9:15 to 12:30. There are 2 shifts from 9:15 to 10:45 and 10:45 to 12:30. This is a once a month or every other month commitment. Toby is very helpful to members who park far away with small children and senior members, too. We also need parking ushers to help direct members and visitors to available spots.  Contact Kibbie Jones for more information.

Greeters on Sundays

Welcome church members and visitors for a 30-minute shift for a month and rotate with two other teams every 3rd month. We rely on greeters from 9:00am to 9:30am and 10:30am to 11:00am. Substitutes are available. This is an easy way to get to know other church members.  Contact Kibbie Jones for more information.

Older Adult Center - Youth or Adult Volunteers Needed

Share Your Special Talent: Come sing, come perform, share your hobby, or share your pictures from a favorite trip or special collection. Whatever you choose, we make for a great audience.  Contact Dawn Reed for more information.
