Peace Lutheran Church - Waunakee, WI: Committees

Committees
When people come to our church, they look forward to uplifting worship. They enjoy hearing a great choir and quality music. They appreciate Sunday school and child care during the worship services. They attend fellowship activities like the church picnic, bazaar, or variety show. These are things that knit together our congregation and help us grow in faith.

Small groups of talented and enthusiastic members work behind the scenes to provide the creative force and organizational structure that help the church remain such a vibrant community.

You can help.

If you see a need within the church,
and have the time and talent to give...
If you see a need outside our church,
and have an idea of how Peace could contribute...
then contact the chair of that committee below. Or, if you're unsure where to start, try the church office or one of the pastors.

Joining a committee can be a great way to deepen relationships as members work together toward a common goal.
