THANK YOU CHOIR FOR A WONDERFUL SPRING SEASON!
We are so grateful to our choir for lending their voices and their spirit to our worship services during our Lenten and Easter seasons. We are also grateful to David Monte, our seasonal music director, for his leadership.
​
Would you like to share your musical gifts during worship this summer? If you would like to offer a piece of "special music" during the summer months (a solo, a duet, a whole band!), please reach out to David or Rev. Maddie.
BECOME A SUNDAY MORNING GREETER
Greeting friends and new faces at our sanctuary doors at the start of Sunday morning worship is an incredibly important role you can volunteer for as a member or friend of Amicable. Our United Church of Christ conference has studied church practices over many years and concluded that a person visiting a church for the first time typically decides in the first 30 seconds of being in the building whether they will come back again. Ensuring they are acknowledged, warmly welcomed, and made to feel comfortable are integral to this conclusion leaning toward “yes!” at Amicable. There is a rotating list of Greeters that would love to see more volunteers added to the ranks. If volunteering for this role interests you, please reach out to Kristen Zeiser (Kristen.zeiser@gmail.com).
WEEKLY FLOWERS FOR THE SANCTUARY
We are accepting flower donations for our weekly services. Please check with Bobi Zeiser for more information and to sign up. Donate to celebrate an occasion or to remember a loved one. We have dates open in 2025! Reserve your Sunday now!
