KITCHEN ANGELS (FUNERAL LUNCHEON) MINISTRY

     The Kitchen Angels are a group of church members who prepare and serve funeral luncheons to bereaved members and immediate families. It is such a blessing to know that there are so many generous people in this church who can be counted on to be there when the need arises. By being there for our church family in their time of need, we not only feed their hunger, but also their spirit. It is our way of making a difficult time a little easier.
     Our Angels come in many forms, whether it is someone making a casserole or a cake, setting up tables, washing dishes, cleaning up or just being there to help wherever needed.
Please consider earning your wings and become a Kitchen Angel!


PRAYER CHAIN MINISTRY

     The Prayer Chain consists of many church members who are "on call" for those who have immediate prayer needs. The Prayer Chain consists of the pastor, 2 coordinators and seven different prayer teams, each team headed by a captain. The coordinators receive the telephone call for the immediate prayer need, call their designated captains, who in turn call the members of their prayer teams -- and everyone is praying for the one in need!
     Prayer is powerful. Please consider joining this ministry or calling the Prayer Chain when you have an immediate prayer need.


PUPPET MINISTRY

     George Terebush and Randy Hunt lead this ministry in spreading the Word of Jesus Christ through the art form of puppetry. Many church members have joined this ministry and witness to our younger children by leading the children's sermon portion of the Sunday morning worship service. Be a part of this dynamic and fun way of sharing the Word of God by becoming a puppeteer in this ministry.


MILITARY FAMILIES PRAYER AND SUPPORT GROUP

     We now have a prayer and support group for the military families in our community.  The group meets on the 4th Monday of each month in the Chapel at 7:00 p.m.  Carol Palmer (from our church) and Julie Barany (from the First Presbyterian Church of Woodbridge) co-coordinate the group.  If you or someone you know has a loved one in the military service, please join us or invite your friend for prayer and support.  If you have any questions, please call the Church Office.


2X4 BIBLE STUDY

     The 2x4 Bible Study is our church's Adult Bible Study which meets every Wednesday. The time: 7:30 p.m. The place: 511 Hyatt Street, Avenel, NJ.
     Do you have questions? Are you hungry for more of God? It doesn't matter where you are at in your Christian walk, all are welcome. Enjoy good fellowship with other Christians who are seeking a deeper relationship with God.


TAPE MINISTRY

     Have you ever missed a great Sunday sermon because you were out of town, ill or volunteering for Toddler Care or Adventures in Worship? Or was there ever a Sunday where you found the choir to be so inspiring that you thought you could listen to them all day? Well, now you don't have to miss a sermon, and if there was a service that you especially liked, you CAN hear it again!
     Each and every service given in our Sanctuary, be it a regular Sunday morning service, the Tenebrae Service before Easter or Candlelight Service for Christmas, is tape-recorded. These cassettes are available to any member of the congregation at any time. Members may keep the cassettes as long as they need to. We do ask, however, that once you are finished with the tapes that they be promptly returned so that others may enjoy them too.
     We hope you will use and enjoy this ministry for yourself or someone you know who may need spiritual guidance.


LIBRARY MINISTRY

     Looking for more Christian literature? There is a wealth of good reading material in our tiny Church Library. It is located in the room at the back of the Sanctuary in a cabinet marked "Church Library." It is easy to check out a book. Simply remove the card in the pocket of the book, write your name and the date on the card, and place the card in the large index box also located in the cabinet. Take the book home, read it, enjoy it, and then return it for someone else to enjoy. Upon returning the book, remove the card from the index box, place it back in the card pocket of the book, and put the book back on the shelf in the letter section of the first letter of the author's last name.
