WHAT CAN I DO?

WHAT IS THERE TO DO?

HOW CAN I HELP?

CAN’T SOMEONE ELSE DO IT?!!

There is so much to do …. There is so much you can be involved in….. There is always a need… And you know how it is at home, if you wait until someone else does it, most of the time, it does not get done. This is God’s house and God’s work that we do! Many things have to be done on a regular basis. One example is cutting the grass, another is setting up the sanctuary for worship, another is running the sound room during services, another is creating the power point presentation and running it for service, another is greeting people as they come into the building for service, another is helping out with Sunday School or Vacation Bible School, another is helping out on Church Work Day, another is buying groceries certificates, another is donating items for the yard sale, another is helping move items for the yard sale, another is helping with the craft fair, another is picking up an extra can of vegetables or box of cereal and placing in the Food Pantry basket…..I think you get the idea. There are so many opportunities for you to help out. Take a moment. Think about it. Pray about it. There is something for everyone! By taking care of the normal ‘stuff’ allows us to be able to do the good ‘stuff’ - the community out reach, the spreading of God’s word and love, and most of all praising God. If you see something you want to help with but don’t know how to get involved, please contact the church office and we will get you the information that you need.

Lakeside United Methodist Church is proud to have the puppet ministry living, learning and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. The youth that covey this message are dedicated to this cause. They are lead by a wonderful and talented person, Karen Surratt. If you or someone you know are interested in being part of this ministry please contact Karen or the church office. Also, check the church calendar for meeting dates and times.

Interfaith Community Connection, Inc. (ICC)
“Helping Neighbors & Families in Need”

Our clients learn about ICC’s efforts thru word of mouth only. No other advertising is done or budgeted. There are currently 8 multi-denominational churches located in the Waldorf area that support this worthwhile ministry. We especially need help with clerical/administrative tasks.

Clients are pre-screened by our volunteers and those who qualify, get appointments scheduled. Intake appointments are held on Mondays only. There are generally 5-6 appointments made (could be a family or an individual). ICC is usually staffed with 2 or 3 volunteers at that time. Clients are seeking assistance with utilities (electric, gas, oil, or water/sewer), rent/mortgage, and prescription meds.

Lakeside UMC has been a faithful and loyal supporter of ICC since 1998! ICC would like to see more churches and additional individuals join us in this undertaking. I’m happy to report that Anne Parker has now joined the ranks of ICC volunteers.
