Dear Esteemed Volunteers— if you are reading this letter then YES this applies to YOU!
I hope this finds you doing well. About five years ago we provided an all day training called Equipping the Sowers. Our goal was to have 100% of our volunteer staff trained and we were able to do that. We made the commitment that every five years we would try and replicate pieces of that training. That brings me to this letter.Instead of having you all come on a Saturday, we have done the next best thing for you and that is to provide you with modified training information through online videos.
We would ask that you take the time to become familiar with the information in these FOUR videos that total about 30-40 minutes. You can see we are NOT asking a lot from you in regards to time because we know how valuable yours is. These can be watched anytime or anywhere, together as a couple, as individuals or even in groups. We have provided the link if you simply CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO YOUR LEFT.
****One very important item: we are asking as PROOF that you COMPLETED the training, please INDIVIDUALLY read and sign the Ministry Covenant and Background Check forms enclosed. Don’t forget your SSN and signature. These are vital! This is a MUST for ALL volunteers and we are working towards 100% completion in this by May 31st. We would not want to hinder someone’s ability to serve because a pesky form is missing...but that pesky form is for the safety of all our kids and families so it is VERY important.
Please return BOTH completed FORMS to the information desk on Sundays or feel free to mail the forms back to the church addressed to Dena Thomas.
Looking forward to all that God has in His big plan for Westwood Baptist Church. We are honored to serve alongside each of you.
