Serving and volunteering is a big part of who we are at PCLG. There are many opportunities to put your talents and skills to work serving the church and community. Read below to discover the many opportunities you can participate in!

Sophia’s Layette is the Mission Project of the Presbyterian Woman. We distribute 10-20 layettes a month to needy families thru Santa Maria Urban Ministry. Our layettes include a Hand knit or Crocheted blanket, fleece blanket, Onesie, PJ’s , hat, socks, and a book. Our baby shower is the only fundraising effort we do throughout the year. Want to donate ? Either new clothing up to 9 mo. Target Gift Cards, or simply right a check and put Sophia’s Layette on the Memo line. Contact Colleen Hattman

Prayer Shawls Our prayer shawl supply has an ebb and flow and periodically our supply dwindles a bit. When that happens we put out a request for prayer shawls to be made. We have several small ones in stock right now but we can use medium and larger shawls. You may knit, crochet, weave with any yarn and pattern you like. We have a basket in the office with yarn for you if you would like to use it. The basket may make its way to the patio during coffee hour so you can look for it there as well. Thank you for your help with our prayer shawl ministry.

PCLG Prayer Group If you are interested in knowing who needs prayer in our church family, and want to be a person of prayer who lifts them up, please email prayers@pclg.org to be included on the Prayer email list. We send prayer requests to the group throughout the week and you are invited into the practice of prayer in this way. We hope you will join us in faithful prayer for our church family.
