Caring For Volunteers

People who serve are the heart of our church.  They answer the call every week, and give of themselves to reach people for Christ and help them to grow in thier faith.  I want volunteers to know what a difference they make!

In January we launched a new way of caring for our volunteers.  The “Volunteers Ministry” is headed by two incredible ladies, Jillayne Payne and Nancy Mondzak.  These gals are flat out off the hook.  I’ll blog more about them another time, but suffice it to say there’s nobody like Jillayne & Nancy!

In short, the volunteer ministry ensures that every volunteer at Palm Valley is cared by by a volunteer leader, who oversees a team of no more than ten.  These leaders manage schedules, contact volunteers, and care for them and there families as needs arise.  I believe our volunteers are going to enjoy serving in a greater way, and last longer as we help them avoid “burning out”.

If you’re serving at Palm Valley, please know how valuable you are.  We couldn’t do this without you.  If you haven’t gotten plugged in, I encourage you to get off the bench and into the game.

This weekend we’re launching Volunteer Central.  This is a place on campus where all weekend volunteers can come and find their resources, grab a drink and a snack, pray together, and catch a breath.  So, if you’re serving this weekend make sure you stop by and enjoy being pampered at Volunteer Central!
