Serve on a Committee

If you can roll up your sleeves and serve on a committee you will make a big difference. Serving on a committee is a demanding job, but one filled with rewards as you do the Lord’s work for NFCC and help make the life of the Church better. If you can roll up your sleeves and serve on a committee you can make a big difference at NFCC. But there are other ways to help committees, consider hosting a meeting, or donate coffee and cookies/donuts to show your appreciation. Ask members about their work and give them feedback. Attend a meeting to see what’s going on. Help with a specific project the committee is working on from internal projects like researching a topic, to external projects like a special event.
