Parent Cooperative Information
Our program is a parent cooperative and parents are expected to participate. More information about the cooperative and exceptions to the volunteer requirement is her e. If you are member of the Children's Ministry Team, Youth Ministry Team or are a teacher in the program or OWL teacher or Youth Advisor you do not need to sign up for additional volunteer duties. Thank you for all you are doing! We do not ask parents who are newcomers to the church to participate in the cooperative. For at least six months we encourage parents to go to service regularly and enter the life of the church before making a volunteer commitment.
Sunday Morning Options
The Sunday Morning options are generally designed for parents of children in the Elementary and Childcare programs but all parents are welcome. There are also non-Sunday morning options listed bellow that are designed for parents of youth 6th-12th grade. If you have multiple children select the option that works best for your family.

- Youth Family Dinner (Set up and Clean up0. the 1st Sunday of the month. The dinner is from 5:45:-6:30. Each task needs just one family to volunteer. Most tasks can easily be done by one person tasks but if there are two parents working together it goes very fast. Only table and chairs require lifting and would work better if 2+ people do it. All tasks are simple, concrete, time limited, and totally necessary for the successful the dinner. Each task has very clear directions and times when they happen.
