Included in this work are tasks relating to physical space preparations, reciprocal hospitality with the members of the MCN congregation, and overall continuity of Mountainside Communion in transition.

Creepy crawlers and the Toddler Room needs you! Being a participatory church means we all step forward in faith and trust that our gifts will be used to uphold God’s church. As valuable members, our young children remind us of the simple joys and innocence that Jesus delights in and wants us to mimic! Sunday mornings are an awesome opportunity to get to know many of Mountainside’s kids and we would like to invite you to step into this work. Please contact Abby Veltman at abbyveltman@hotmail.com or 626-203-3183 if you would enjoy this valuable commitment. |
