If doors are unlocked or windows opened during your function they must be secured before leaving the premises AND the alarm must be set if you or your group is the last to exit the building.

Calling All Greeters: We need volunteers who are willing to serve as greeters for any of our services. You would be welcoming visitors and members to the service; directing them to various areas of the church if needed; and help to make them feel a part of our wonderful family here at Rocky Mount. If you would like to be added to the rotating schedule or for more information, please contact Teresa Wallace at 704-400-0890.
Volunteers Needed on a rotating basis to help assemble Sunday worship bulletins & tidy up the Sanctuary usually on Fridays from 1:30pm until about 3pm. The schedule does change slightly around holidays due to office closings. This is a very simple way to serve within the church, and the more people who volunteer—the less each person would be on the schedule. If you’d like to help out or for more information, contact Carla at the church office at 704-528-5525.
Nursery Helpers: We’re in need of workers to help out with the nursery rotation. Our desire is to have a constant presence during our Sunday School Hour (9:45am) for the children. This is great peace of mind for our parents and consistency for our babies. If you have a child in nursery we are asking that you sign up to serve three (3) times between now and fall of next year. Thanks in advance for prayerfully considering this ministry. You can sign up in the nursery or contact Leslie Baker at 704-658-1100 for more info.

They’re located in the commons area in the black box labeled “CD’s & DVD’s of the 8:30am & 11am Worship Celebrations”. If no copies are available in the box for the date or event you prefer, please see the sign up sheet beside the box and indicate copies you prefer.
Cell-ebrate Our Children - Please stand out and make a difference in our community. Donate an old or broken cell phone and help save a child’s life age 0-16.

Please consider donating any old, broken or unused cell phones you may have. The collection box is located in the church office with tax donation receipts attached.
