Looking for a simple way to get involved?

The Temple Beth-El Sisterhood is looking for friendly volunteers to spend a little time in the Gift Shop on Sunday mornings. It’s a short shift, easy to learn, and a great way to be part of what’s happening.

If you enjoy connecting with people and lending a hand, this is a great fit.

Sundays, 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM at the Parham Location.

Interested? Contact Arlene at arlene4907@gmail.
