WE ARE GETTING READY FOR VBS 2019! This year’s theme is “ROAR!” and we believe God will do something huge this year at VBS. We need help though. We are looking for some individuals that would love to be involved in leadership for this year’s VBS in June. If you have administrative skills and a passion for children knowing Jesus, we’d love to talk. If you feel like you would like to help in this role or would like more information please talk to Pastor Rob or call him at church during office hours. Don’t miss this opportunity to be a blessing.
CHILDREN’S CHURCH IS GROWING! God is doing great things in our Children’s Ministry and we want you to be a part of it! We are looking to add an additional group for our youngest children so that we can split our groups into smaller sizes and give this ministry more room to grow. This means we are looking for new leaders. We’ll need 6 more leaders and 6 more helpers. As soon as we get enough leaders in place for a 6 week rotation, we will get the additional group going. If you’re interested, sign up by the kitchen or contact Stacy Hoffman (219-869-8114 or office@demottearc.com).
