Community Involvement Committee
Who?
- Currently the committee has 3 members: Dave Groeninger, Kathy Osborne, and Rosie Rexing.
- They are IN NEED for more members.
- This committee has not limit to how many members it can have. Ultimately the more members they have.... the more they are able to serve the community.
- This committee is committed to the promotion of social justice for our community crossing inter-faith disciplines and advocating for those who often do not have adequate representation in our society.

Summer Fest Committee
Who?
Who?
- Typically we need 10-12 dedicated members to have this committee run smoothly.

- They are still looking for a dedicated volunteer to help with the Basket Auction.
- This committee is responsible all things Summer Fest. From the food, to the advertising, licensing, decorating, electricity, gathering volunteers, and organizing all the volunteer needs. Running the largest parish fundraiser isn't an easy task.... but when we work together, many hands make for lighter loads.
