Volunteer Opportunity: Communion Coordinator

At Wellington Heights Community Church, communion is a shared, embodied practice that invites us to remember Christ and turn toward God and one another. The Communion Coordinator helps steward this sacred moment by ensuring communion is thoughtfully prepared and smoothly coordinated each month,

Key Responsibilities

Preparation & Supplies

Prepare communion elements for monthly services (bread and grape juice) in alignment with WHCC’s communion practices. Ensure all communion supplies are available, clean, and ready for use, including linens, chalices, platters, and table coverings. Set the communion table prior to worship

Volunteer Coordination

Identify, invite, and schedule volunteers to assist with serving communion (such as bread servers and chalice holders). Communicate clearly with volunteers ahead of time regarding arrival time and the flow of serving communion. Confirm volunteer availability prior to each communion Sunday and help arrange coverage if someone is unavailable.

After-Service Care

Ensure communion items remain on the table until the postlude has concluded and are then cleared with care. Check that linens are clean and properly stored; arrange for laundering when needed. Clean, dry, and store chalices and serving ware so they are ready for future use.

This role is well-suited for someone who values attentiveness, collaboration, and the spiritual significance of shared practices within the WHCC community.  Interested? Email stephanie@wellingtonheightscommunitychurch.org

n partnership with FaithLife Church (formerly known as St. Mark’s Lutheran Church) Wellington Heights Community Church is thrilled to offer another round of freezer meals as a way to extend care to caregivers in our community!

In September our pastoral team shared that the U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, M.D. released an advisory on the mental health and well-being of parents. The advisory highlights stressors that impact parents and caregivers, links between parental mental health and children's long-term well-being and the need to better support parents, caregivers and families. Read the report here.

Parenting is sacred work.  And caregivers, need care too!

Sign-up to receive a freezer meal dropped off to your home in October by emailing Ashley at office@wellingtonheightscommunitychurch.org

May we continue to support one another in prayer and practical support in the sacred work of caregiving!

Check out the latest issue of Fuller Seminary Magazine, where Pastor Keeyon was featured. Check it out here.

"It’s Keeyon’s prayer that amidst the shifting spiritual landscape we find ourselves in, in each of our distinct contexts inside and outside the church walls, we remain open to what the Holy Spirit is doing—even and especially when religion doesn’t look the way it once did. And as the church follows the Spirit into this new horizon, he knows that chaplains will have a faithful role to play, ministering through faithful presence to those around us."
