A Sunday Without Volunteers

At the Vine Fellowship, we know we could not fulfill our purpose as a church if it was not for our volunteers. This past Sunday, October 29th, we celebrated our second annual Volunteer Appreciation Sunday. As a small token of our appreciation, we had a special dinner for our volunteers on Sunday night where the staff and Advisory Team served. It was very difficult for the volunteers to just sit and be served (some rebelled and tried to work!). Gary Chapman would have been proud of us, though. I think we were able to communicate our deep appreciation for our volunteers by speaking their love language...acts of service.

It seemed impossible to list everything our volunteers do to help the church fulfill the vision, so rather than try and do that, we took a slightly different approach. We came up with a humorous video that asked the question, "What would a Sunday morning at Vine Fellowship look like if we had no volunteers?"Click here to watch, A Sunday Without Volunteers.
