Time and Talents

We all are a community of servants who follow Jesus’ example by living lives of service to others. How is God calling you to serve both inside and outside the congregation? How is God calling you to use your gifts to serve others? As one body with many members, God has given each of us different gifts and talents in order to complete the ministry we are called to do. Each of us is needed. Below is a brief description of the ministry opportunities available to you at Rehoboth that help fulfill the congregation’s mission to welcome, to nourish and to serve. Please prayerfully consider how you can contribute to our shared ministry here at Rehoboth Evangelical Lutheran Church.

We welcome you to fill out our Time and Talents form and return it to the church. You may give it to any Stewardship Committee member or simply put it in the Stewardship Committee mailbox.
