Do know your way around Missoula, Montana better than the Bible? Well, let's fix that. Jim+ is offering an introductory class - Bible 101 for those of us who are woefully uninitiated to the Bible (we will use assumed names - no minutes will be taken) RSVP so we can have materials. Sundays 11/11 and 11/18 at 9:15 am sharp in room 104. Bring a Bible (unless it is one of those that weigh over 10 pounds.) RSVP frjimbo@msn.com |

1. Order Pickup - We need someone with a truck who will pick up our monthly Sam's order. We can order for pick up at a Sam's near you.
2. Sign - Would you be willing to change the sign out front one a week? You can do it day or night at your leisure. Sign is changed on Sunday or Monday.
3. Bread Baking - Want to learn the recipe for the yummy altar bread and help your church family as well. Once a month for us (and as many times as you want for you.) The recipe is not hard. Help make worship great.
4. Church Weekend Away in the Piney Woods - Need team members to join Jim+ to lead and design the 11/29-12/2 outing near Navasota.
5. Musical Offering - Play an instrument? Sing? We would love to have you perform something during worship as a special offering.
6. Is it Christmas already? - Well, no, but it's time to plan for our annual Christmas Pageant. It does happen without some adult help. Is that you? We have a leader; just need some adults to help.
7. Altar Help - Do you care about our worship? Want to know more about Episcopal worship? Do you want to help make it happen? Once a month ministries are open in worship set up. We will train and love you. Once a month for a few hours.
8. Audiovisual - God is calling one person to coordinate a team of audiovisual people for 10:30 am worship. Most of the team is already in place.

| NURSERY HOSTS |
|
|
Would you like to make our nursery a warm friendly place? We need nursery hosts to greet people on Sunday mornings. It is not a huge time commitment. You serve approximately 30 minutes every 4-6 weeks. Just arrive 15 minutes prior to the service you attend and return to the nursery before or immediately following communion and stay for 15 minutes after the service. You can even take communion at the nursery. This is very easy and you can even pick the Sunday that you'd like to serve. If you are interested in greeting at Andrew's Ark, please contact Elizabeth Escobedo Huh at (713) 436-0422, or elizabethescobedo@hotmail.com
