VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Redecorating the PLR Offices & Library
We are looking for someone to redecorate the PLR offices, including the newly emptied (soon) library space into a conference room area. This might include some handyman work taking the bookcases off the walls in that room, plus decorating that space and others with posters, art, etc.

We will also have the bookcases to give to anyone who is interested in coming and taking them away.

We will be posting volunteer ministry opportunities in our Presbytery for various things like coordinating the Youth Triennium and other such “jobs” that are no longer handled by the PLR staff.
