VOLUNTEER AND SIGN UPS
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!
There's No Place Like the Tea
Festive songs and yummy homemade goodies -- there's no place like the PCLG Christmas Tea to kick off your holiday season! This year's Tea will be held Thursday, Dec. 5, at noon. Because of our chancel remodeling project, it will be hosted by Congregation Shir Hadash, our neighbor on Cherry Blossom Lane.
The Tea will feature the Mountain View High School Madrigal Choir, whose spirited carols and costumes always lift our hearts. Refreshments will include light luncheon fare, an array of yummy cookies and, of course, tea. If you'd like to bake cookies or help before, during or after the Tea, please visit our SignUpGenius page here

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.
Sign-Up to Be an Usher! Are you wondering how you could get involved with PCLG? One of the easiest ways to get involved is to sign up to be an usher for Sunday worship. Come to church by 9:40 am, and check-in with the Head Usher who will let you know what to do. It's a great way to meet people and participate in the worship service! Click here to sign up.
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.
Worship Band The Worship Band is looking for people who would like to share their musical gifts and talents such as guitar, bass, drums and/or singing to consider joining in leading worship here at PCLG. If you have an interest and would like to talk more about it, please contact Rita on Sunday mornings or email Rita.hoegel@pclg.org.
