MayFest was billed as a "special Sunday in May" and it exceeded all expectations due to unbelievable teamwork.
MayFest was envisioned in early April and became a reality on May 1 thanks to the Parish Life Team supported by the Hospitality Team, the staff, clergy and over 80 volunteers. In our bulletin and newsletter requests, we asked for 60 volunteers to do a little job to create a huge event and that is exactly what happened! We got 20 more volunteers than we asked for - amazing!
Last August our interim rector, David Perkins, began telling the congregation of the power of teamwork and the necessity of recruiting volunteers. He stressed recruiting, rather than just waiting for parishioners to volunteer - well, MayFest is the proof of the power of loving, generous and willing volunteers.
The next time you are recruited or see a request for volunteers, jump on board! And thank David for opening our eyes to the power, love, energy and talent within our parish.
