Current Ministry Volunteer Opportunities
Information Desk
Have you ever walked around a store and had questions and no one was around to ask?
There are times at SJTW when parishioners or visitors have questions on the weekends and they are unsure where to go to get the answers.
The information desk is a place on the weekends where you can stop by, ask questions, and get some answers. If the person at the desk doesn’t know the answer, they jot it down and make sure it gets to the staff person who can help. It may be handing out registration packets (behind the desk on the wall), who to contact about baptisms (Jeanne at 763-425-6505), or where the donuts are!
We are in need of more people willing to be at the information desk once a month for 10-15 minutes after Mass. You can attend Mass and just come out after communion. You do NOT need to know all the answers, but be willing to help direct people to the staff person they need (a list is provided) or jot down their contact info and a staff member will call them.
Contact Tarri at tnelson@sjtw.net, or call 763-400-7205 if you would be willing to take a turn at helping and being a friendly face at the SJTW information desk.
Social Time MinistryDo you like to enjoy a donut (or two) or treat after Mass?
We are in GREAT need of individuals, couples or families to help out at social time after Mass once a month, especially at 5:00 and 8:30 Masses.
You put out the food provided, make coffee/lemonade, then clean up afterwards. Plus you can enjoy some great conversation with those people who come to social hour. You could be added to a current team, do it as a couple, or make it a great family activity.
The people who do it now week after week would be happy to help you learn the ropes and mentor you. If we want social time to continue, we need more people to step forward to help out!Contact Tarri at tnelson@sjtw.net, or call 763-400-7205.
Altar Servers – Boys and girls 4th grade and older.
In Baptism, we are called by name to be a part of God’s family. You are invited to live your baptismal call to serve one another as an altar server at Mass.
We are in great need of servers for our Saturday and Sunday Mass times.
Altar servers are an important part of our worship and a great way for our young people to minister to their faith community. Altar servers help with the procession and recessional, they help direct the congregation’s attention during the liturgy with moving of the candles, and assist the priest and deacon during Mass.
Please consider becoming a liturgical minister as an altar server. All training and directions are provided. Contact Tarri at tnelson@sjtw.net or call 763-700-7205.
