Wanted: Creative, joyful people who are open to learning and new ideas. We are looking for folx who are interested in a variety of positions, from assisting in the RE classroom, helping plan and organize fun events like the Fall Festival, and providing support for inter-generational service projects.

Are you yearning for a way to connect with congregants of all ages? Do you have incredible organizational skills or playful ideas? Is there a special talent you feel called to share with our kids and youth? Are you looking for a way to deepen your spiritual development through connecting with others? What are you dreaming of? Let’s connect and chat about it!
