The Violet Connection 5

Events & Volunteers

The end of May brings the end of the school year and a much-needed break for many. Small groups, weekly programs at the church, and classes often take the summer off to recharge. Let me encourage you to find rest but to also use this time to see where you can get plugged in and connected here at Violet. Last month, Pastor Rick preached about the Jesus Revolution. Recently, he mentioned the importance of serving and the ways you can see all the different serving options here at Violet. Let me encourage you, friends, to take that step and begin to serve at church. Serving is not just on Sundays, as we have so many opportunities all throughout the week. On Thursday nights, I am so thankful for those who serve greeting the Pickerington Parks and Recreation classes that come through Violet. On Tuesday May 21 and Wednesday May 22, Violet hosted a North American Mission Board conference. I cannot even begin to express how thankful I was to all who stayed after service to set up the worship center, those who stayed after groups to set up other rooms, and those who came in during the week to serve lunch, dinner, and then reset the church to be ready for Sunday! The saying “many hands make light work” is so true! I am thankful for the many hands and servant's hearts here at Violet. This summer is the perfect time to reach out to me and explore all the different options available for you to serve the Lord, your church family and your community.

I look forward to hearing from you. Jamie McCleese
