How You Can Help

We are so grateful to our Lord for blessing our Student Ministry program, here at Saratoga Federated Church. In order to help our program run smoothly, we need your partnership. We are asking that EVERY parent sign up to help in some aspect of our program. Therefore, please take time to pray and ask God how you can be involved. At the Parent Meeting today, we will be asking for your help! Please stop by the sign-up table in the back of the room.

We have a new ministry that warmly welcomes children and teenagers with special needs into our programs. We are offering a "Day of Respite" to Christmas shop on December 9, 2007 from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm. Please contact Tim if you are able to help that day.

"If we feed our students, they will come!" We have been asking families for donations of any amount for either Jr. or Sr. High Ministry Sunday goodies. Please drop a donation check into the basket on this morning's TREAT table or if you prefer, send a check in to Melinda's attention and she will credit and deposit into your area of choice.

Confirmation Team

We need a Class Lunch Coordinator and Boys & Girls Small Group Class Leaders. Confirmation is a wonderful opportunity to help students understand what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We are asking for a team of parents to help students on their faith journey. You will grow from this experience. Contact: Tim Gallegher
