So you can see that it takes a lot of people to run a church with community outreach during the week. Many of these roles are currently filled, and some of the church members fulfill several roles, and would be grateful if they could "lighten the load". 

The old adage "Many hands make light work" definitely applies to a church such as The Crossing.

If you would like to help in any way, however small, please ask.
