YOU ARE NEEDED! 7/15/21
Please think about joining our Religious Education Ministry as a Catechist or Aide. Remember, our program only works with the assistance of volunteers.
There are numerous classes still available. Our greatest need right now is Fall, Sundays. K, 1st, 2nd 3rd. If your child is signed up for one of these classes (or not) please consider being their teacher.
Please do not feel like, “I can’t teach religion”. You can, and I can help you! If you would like to learn more, please email Debbie @ d.dericks@olcchurch.com.
If you have a teen or young person in your family who has been Confirmed, they can teach! Two parents or teens can co-teach.
So please pray on it and reach out to me when you are ready…I’ll be waiting.
The only thing you need is to combine your love of children and your love of your faith
