- How will I be able to decide what to sign up for?
This website contains a description of most of the ministries
at the Church of the Little Flower. If you read the descriptions
of those ministries that interest you, you will gain an understanding
of what the position would entail and how much time you might
expect to devote to the activity.
- Is everything at the Church of the Little Flower a ministry?
Yes, we consider all activities at the Church of the Little Flower
to be a ministry of some kind. While some roles, such as Eucharistic
Minister or Lector, are more sacramental in nature, we believe
that participating in such activities as making Thanksgiving baskets,
or making decisions on which charities should receive our tithes
are forms of ministry also.
- Can I sign up for more than one ministry? Be
a good steward of your time. Many parishioners are already involved
in more than one ministry. For example, someone could be a Lector,
and a volunteer for one of the Social Concerns projects. The only
limitations are your time, openings in the various ministries
and the need to place as many parishioners as possible in ministries
in which they express an interest.
- How will I know that my offer to become involved has
been reviewed by someone? You should receive an acknowledgement
by mail and a phone call from a ministry coordinator concerning
the ministries you list.
- What if I don't hear from anyone concerning commitments
I make? The coordinators will make a concerted effort
to reach you by phone regarding your interests. If there is no
answer, they will leave a message on your answering machine, requesting
you to return their call. If they don't hear from you after leaving
two messages, they will assume that you have changed your mind
and will not make further attempts. If you are still interested
in being placed in a ministry or organization and you have not
received a phone call, please call the rectory at 301-320-4538.
- Is this the only time I will be able to sign up for
something? No. We plan to conduct a parish-wide Ministry
Opportunities effort annually, and this will be the key time for
parishioners to sign up for ministries. Throughout the year, however,
there are always opportunities for parishioners to become involved
in various activities.
- What if I am not sure about what I might want to become
involved in and just need some more information? Call the rectory at 301-320-4338 and your your name and number will be given to the coodinator. The names of some of the coordinators are listed on this site. If you call the coordinator, you
will be able to obtain the information you need.
