Deciding which ministry to join

Thinking about volunteering or getting involved in the parish?  Most people visit the parish Web site or pick up a ministries brochure to see what kind of opportunities St. John Neumann Church offers to parishioners wishing to dig a little deeper in putting their faith into action.  Once people see that we have 56+ ministries, each with several different ways to get involved, some people can get pretty overwhelmed with the many choices.  Understandably.  Enter in the parish director of ministries.

Jen Crowley, director of ministries, is on staff full-time to help parishioners get involved.  Her primary ministry at SJN is to direct discerning parishioners toward whatever volunteer or fellowship opportunity might best suit them. 

Through a Gifts and Talents Survey to chatting one-on-one about past experiences and current interests to ministry events, such as the annual Ministry Expo, Jen serves to plug each parishioner into the parish.  She has the most current information about news and events happening with the different ministries and will be able to help you narrow down your choices. 

There are one-time opportunities, long-term opportunities, short-term opportunities, at-home opportunities, youth opportunities -- something for everyone! 

So if you're feeling a little overwhelmed with the long list of ministries or if you don't have a clue as to where you'd like to serve, try contacting Jen to see how she can help you.  It's what she's here for, and she's happy to help!
