General Committee Information PDF  | Print |  E-mail
Church committees plan the ministry of our church and provide a chance to meet other church members while serving our congregation and the local and global community. Committees generally meet once a month September through May.
Members of our nominating committee will soon begin the process of filling open positions on our various committees.  If you would like to learn more about serving on one of the following ministry teams or if you’d like to get involved, please contact Dal Ingold at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or 708/246-8975.
 
Welcome Team PDF  | Print |  E-mail
The Welcome Team is one of our newer committees.  While its purpose is to help both new and old members alike feel welcome in the church, it also focuses on assimilating new members into the life of the church, getting to know them as visitors, through the orientation process, and keeping in contact with them in their membership.
The Welcome Team looks for members who would like to help greet and answer questions of our Sunday morning visitors.  Team members need only be available once every six weeks, be friendly and willing to reach out to others.  They also host a midwinter party to welcome our most recent new members and their sponsors.
They meet monthly, or as needed.  Linda Conlin serves as the staff liaison for this committee.  Questions can be directed to her at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or at 708-246-1900, ext. 16.
