Ways to Get Involved at Mount Olivet
Verger Volunteers
The volunteer vergers are clean and tidy the church and hall to prepare for service on Sunday. Verger duties take about an hour or less per week, on Friday or Saturday, and include light sweeping and vacuuming, wiping counters, running the dishwasher, cleaning bathrooms, emptying trash, and checking supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, soap, coffee, etc.).
You can sign up for a verger slot in the Hall. For more info ask Cyndi or Heidi.
Sunday School
Can you help with Sunday School? We have weekly lesson plans to use as guides be creative and share your own ideas. To contribute to this joyous and rewarding mission, please speak to Hazel, then sign up on the calendar in the Hall.
Free Lil' Pantry
The Algiers Point Free Lil' Pantry provides food that individuals can access items anytime, no questions asked. Unlike traditional food pantries, it operates 24/7 without applications or restrictions, promoting a sense of compassion, trust, and mutual aid.
Every Sunday, you can donate shelf stable, unexpired foods in the baskets near the front of the church. Fr. Bill will bless the full baskets before they are delivered to the Pantry.
