Opportunities to Serve

Here are some of the opportunities to participate or serve in the Cedar Cross community:

Caring Committee

The Caring Committee meets every Monday at 10:00 am. We review the joys and concerns voiced on Sunday; we manage the Prayer Chain; we send cards; we provide meals to people in our congregation who are in need; and we pray. Anyone who would like to give energy to the care of our Church family is welcome to attend. Contact Pastor Jim (pastorjimc@frontier.com).

Children’s Council

The Children’s Council is responsible for Sunday School, Vacation Bible School and family events throughout the year. They usually meet on Sunday evenings at the same time as Youth Group because a number of the members are parents of youth. They always have coffee and something to eat. They also claim to have the most fun. If you would like to support the children of the Church please join us. Contact Jen Hoerber (jenrenee1209@gmail.com).

Youth Council

As one would figure, this group supports the youth ministry. They plan youth events and support our Youth Leaders, Geoff and Katie Albright. The Council is made up of youth and youth parents, but it would be nice to have people who don’t have youth children but are committed to supporting our youth. Contact Diane Cunningham Diane (206-799-9339).

Stewardship

The Stewardship Committee runs the Stewardship campaign every fall, but they do more than that. They work on making the congregation aware of the needs of the Church and our obligations to support it. Obviously, stewardship is a vital ministry of the Church and it needs some committed people to join them. Contact Larry States (larstates@comcast.net).

Finance

The work of the Finance Committee is the nuts and blots of the finances of our Church. It is important and necessary work and they always need new people to join them. Contact Larry States (larstates@comcast.net).

Missions Committee

The Missions Committee organizes and supports the various outreach programs of our Church including Teen Feed, the Food Bank, and the Interfaith Shelter. It you are interested in outreach ministry please join this committee. Contact Dianne Bjorn with questions (425) 501-0155.

Worship Committee

The Worship Committee has six members: Charlotte Cordner, Linda Irving, Diane Van Dorn, Jennifer Hobson, Linda States and Elaine Salisbury. The strive to provide a sacred space for worship. In addition, we work closely with Pastor Jim to enhance worship each week and throughout the liturgical year. All are welcome to provide us with ideas and suggestions, or join us on the Committee.

Welcoming Committee

This Committee’s focus is visitors and reaching out to new people (used to be called evangelism). By whatever name, it works at both extending our visibility and being hospitable to new people. If you are interested in making our church more welcoming please join us. Contact Camille Williams camille.williams@frontier.com.

United Methodist Women

There are two groups of the United Methodist Women, a daytime group and an evening group. The UMW has focused on mission since its inception. It is also an opportunity for fellowship with other women in the Church. Join us. For morning UMW contact Elise Makemson (425-210-5021). For evening UMW Elaine Salisbury (es.dance@frontier.com).
