Angel Tree ministry

The Prison Fellowship Angel Tree ministry is underway for 2021. Buy a gift for a child whose mom or dad is in prison on behalf of the incarcerated parent -- it is a selfless and worthy cause. Please stop by table in the Welcome Center on Sunday to get more information about this important ministry.

Donate a poinsettia

Would you like to help decorate the sanctuary for Advent? By giving a poinsettia in honor or memory of a loved one, you will be remembering them in a special way and helping to beautify the worship center. If you would like to donate, please email Julie Gibson by Dec. 12.

Staff gifts for Christmas

During this Advent season, we would like to thank our wonderful staff here at Community. We are accepting donations for Christmas gifts. If you would like to contribute, please mark your donation as "Staff Gift" and drop it in the basket at the back of the Worship Center or mail it to the church office by Dec. 10. If you are not able to give monetarily, a simple "thank you" is always appreciated. 

Help with Carols By Candlelight

We need help on Dec. 19 to help set up tables and chairs in the Welcome Center and provide help with decorating for Carols By Candlelight. We'll start after the 11 a.m. service.  Also, servers are needed to serve cookies and drinks at 6 p.m. If you would like to donate cookies or treats for the event, please bring them to the Welcome Center kitchen before 5 p.m. on the 19th.

Forward Motion for single moms

Community is excited to host a nonprofit ministry for single moms on Wednesday nights. To support them, we need child care volunteers to supervise their children for approximately 1 1/2 hours -- 6:15-7:30 p.m. You must have completed Safe Gatherings training. If you are willing to help, please contact Children's Ministry Director Patty Wolff.

Volunteer opportunity with Loaves and Fishes

We're looking for more volunteers to serve meals to those in need through Loaves and Fishes.

Community helps serve food for homeless guests on the third Saturday of each month. On each fourth Sunday, we prepare and serve the meal, 4:30-6:45 p.m., at the Wilkes Boulevard United Methodist Church. At present, because of COVID-19, the food has been a bagged meal offered outdoors. Before this, meals had been offered from the kitchen and the guests have been seated in the dining room. 

For more information about volunteering for Loaves and Fishes, contact Linda Fillwock at 573-445-3991 or 505-301-8108, or click here to send her an email. 

Crochet ministry

The crochet ministry is for people of all ages and skill levels. They will meet on the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the Welcome Center. Projects include: baby hats, prayer shawls, scarves, etc. If you are interested in joining this ministry, please email Kate Wessler.
