Children's Sunday School and Church (original): This is the backbone of our education programs for children of all ages. We are in need of teachers, assistant teachers, and substitute teachers. Please contact the Sunday School Superintendent, Kathleen Smith. During the summer months when regular Sunday School is out we have children's church during the middle service. Children up to 4th grade are invited to the fellowship hall for singing, skits, and stories. If you are interested in helping with children's church please contact Melanie Nichols @ 697-1274.

Visitation Team (10/02/07): Our team recognizes that the church is the people of God doing the work of God. We offer ministry to the members of our congregation and extended family who are physically removed so that they feel spiritually connected with the Body of Christ. We provide monthly home visits, soup delivery, hospital visits, transportation to appointments as needed, delivery of quilts/prayer shawls, weekly homebound newsletter, delivery of flowers, and serving communion. If you are interested in this for yourself or someone you know, please call the Church Office @ 697-6651. Click HERE for details.

Extended Table Program Ministry (10/22/07): The Extended Table Program connects our Communion Table to our fellowship with food events of this congregation. Events may include Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner, Easter Sunday Sunrise Breakfast, the Church Picnic, Golf Tournament Banquet, special cake, punch and cookie receptions, new Comfirmands dinner and Pastor Appreciation Sunday. You can pick and choose among these events and special one-time gatherings that interest you or when you have the time to participate. The talents needed vary as well, ranging from providing baked goods or a covered dish, setting up or serving cake and punch, clean-up, scrambling eggs or flipping pancakes on the grill, ordering food, or coordinating a banquet dinner/picnic. “Many hands make light work” - won’t you lend yours to help set our Extended Table of fellowship? Contact the church office to volunteer, 697-6651.

Bereavement Reception Team (9/26/07): The Bereavement Team is a group of devoted women who, in Fellowship Hall, provide comfort in the form of food and fellowship, after a funeral or memorial service, to church families. As co-chairmen, Ann Anderson and Elaine Bilow take their direction from Pastor Patti Collett after her condolence/planning meeting with the family. Two options are offered--either a reception providing cookies and iced tea and/or coffee, or a stand-up meal consisting of ham, potato salad, coleslaw, rolls, cake, coffee and/or iced tea. Team members are asked to help with this providing by baking cookies or cakes, and by sometimes making potato salad and/or coleslaw. On the day of the service, one or more team members, depending on the number of expected attendees, is asked to assist Ann and Elaine with set-up, serving and clean-up. There is no fee for this ministry, though the family may choose to contribute to the Bereavement Team Fund. If you are interested in serving, or in need of this service, please contact Church Office @ 697-6651.

Vacation Bible School (original): VBS is offered every June for a week. It is held in the mornings for children ages 4 years to 6th grade and is a time of fun with singing, crafts, games, dramas, Bible stories, and more. During the week we have over 200 children exposed to the word of God. There is a great need for adult volunteers to teach, prepare snacks, lead singing, organize games, help with crafts, work in the nursery, work registration, etc. If interested in helping with VBS please call the church office @ 697-6651.

We meet the last Thursday of the month starting in January from 10:00am to 3:00pm. See the bulletin for the November meeting – no meeting in December. Bring a bag lunch.

Knitting to Nurture (original): This group of beginning and experienced knitters meets at the church on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month from 10:30am to 12:30pm, September through May. The primary purpose is to knit "prayer shawls" that are given to members of the church and community as tangible evidence of our prayers and caring for them. We also have other projects that touch the lives of those in need at the local, national, and international level. Join us to fellowship, pray and bless others with the work of our hands.

Friday Help Team and Newsletter Team (original): Friday is the busiest day of the week in the church office. With three and sometimes four services over the weekend there is a lot of copying and folding to be done. The monthly newsletter is another massive undertaking. With the newsletter reaching 14 pages, there is a lot of copying, stapling, and folding to do. Not to mention affixing address labels and getting the whole thing to the post office. Contact the Church Office if you would like to help either of these needs.

New Member Mentoring (original): This ministry provides support to our newest members by assisting them in connecting with the church. We hope this will enable new members to more quickly feel a part of the family here at Wyoming and to find their places in the life and ministry of Wyoming UMC.

Technology Team (10/14/07): The Technology Team provides support ranging from consulting with other teams to actually carrying out various technology related tasks. The scope may include any or all aspects of the full life cycle of technologies such as audio/video, organ, telephone/voice, security, and computing.
