Both in person or on the phone? Are you able to sit (or stand if you prefer) for a few hours? And now the big, really important question...are you available on Friday mornings? Hungry Hearts is in need of a volunteer for the front desk on Friday mornings. We are looking for every Friday, but if you can commit to just 1 or 2 a month that s fine too. Training will be provided, but the job mostly consists of sitting and answering the phone and talking. If you can help, just let me know. Here is my contact info: you could just turn around, that s me at the little desk in front of a computer, or call ext. 211 or hungryheartsfumc@gmail.com Thanks, have a blessed week, Dan Scripture John 21:15-23 Children s Message Update on Noah s House John Lloyd The Offering The Offertory Where Charity and Love Prevail Chapin, arr.
