ministry opportunities and notices

At St. Luke's Powhatan we value every member of our Church Family!  We strive to meet the needs of all, and that requires everybody's participation and effort.  We are always looking for volunteers to assist in our various ministries, whether it be taking Eucharist to those who cannot attend services, serving on the vestry, or altar guild, or raking the leaves in the fall, your assistance is vital to serving those in our Church Family, and the surrounding community.  We will be posting areas and commissions that are looking for volunteer assistance on this page.  Please take the time to look over these opportunities to serve others, and contact the person listed to volunteer.  If you know of an area not listed, but that you would like to serve in, please contact the office.
