Serving Opportunities
Within Redemption
Welcome/Setup/Teardown Team
Our welcome team prepares the church building for the service and helps welcome and direct folks as they come into the church. This team also helps with breakdown after service. Your work serves the body by helping us transition from the rush of the week and the morning, preparing us to be present as we worship together.
Redemption Kids - Nursery
Our nursery team helps with the smallest folks who join us on Sunday mornings.
Redemption Kids - Classroom Lead
Our classroom leads help facilitate the curriculum that Buggy pre-arranges for our K-5 students. These folks are key to being able to expand the age groups that we can serve in Redemption Kids during the morning service.
Redemption Kids - Classroom Assistant
Our classroom assistants help setup the room, gather supplies and generally assist the classroom leads as they teach our K-5 students.
Prayer Team
Our prayer team prays over the church and our service each Sunday. On a rotating basis, prayer team members are available in the foyer behind the sanctuary to pray with folks after the service.
Music Team
Our music team leads the congregation in worship each week. If you have experience playing music, we’d love to hear from you.
Tech & Audio/Visual Team
These folks help keep the microphones working, the video cameras filming and the livestream streaming.
Serving Opportunities
Around Seattle
LOCAL FOOD BANKS
Seattle Public Schools posted online that the district’s nutrition services have enough food supply to support students at this time. They are encouraging people to make sure the local food banks are stocked. Here is a link for a map of food banks in Seattle and other resources on how you can help.
MARY’S PLACE
We have been corresponding with Tina Joehnk, the volunteer coordinator at Mary’s Place. She said that with schools being out, Mary’s Place has an increase of kids in shelter, and their youth services team could use help keeping them engaged and learning in Kids Club. There are volunteer opportunities in the Kids Clubs at Family Centers in Burien, Northshore, North Seattle, White Center, and Downtown Seattle. Tina will update us as other needs arise. (Please note, prior Mary’s Place training is required to serve in this way.)

AURORA COMMONS
The community experiencing homelessness along Aurora is particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 because many of them have compromised immune systems. Aurora Commons needs support to help their unhoused community shelter in place by providing enough supplies to keep them warm, sheltered, and fed during this crisis. 100% of all donations from this fund will directly be used to help our neighbors experiencing homelessness survive outside during this crisis. Please visit the Aurora Commons website for updated needs and information.
