Critical Ministry Help Needed at The Hub
Over the past few months many of you have heard us referring to “The Hub” which is, Lord willing, going to become the central information hub for everything that we do at St. Paul’s. It will also act as a way for newcomers to find out what is happening at St. Paul’s and receive information specific to their interests. In addition to this The Hub also plays a critical role in following our Leading with Care policy through the use of the KidCheck system that actively protects our most vulnerable. We are in desperate need for members of the congregation to step forward and serve the Lord in this critical ministry. Full training would be provided as well as a flexible schedule. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit would bring many forward who would be willing to provide care and service to our church through this ministry. Please don’t assume “someone else will do it” - we really need the help. If you feel that this is where the Lord is calling you to serve please contact Jeremy Sauvé at jeremy@stpaulspcottawa.com or call the office at 613 729 3384
