New Wine needs your help!

It’s time to get get engaged! New Wine is in need of volunteers with various skills:

Graphic design: New Wine needs fliers, handouts, programs, and other print pieces for its various events throughout the year. This would be a great way for a student to earn Student Ministry credit, for a budding designer to get more practice, or for a practicing artist to creatively contribute to New Wine. We’ve got CS3, you bring the talent!

Administrative: New Wine has various bulk mailings to send out during the year: newsletters, event invitations, and other publications. If you like stickers and helping our community learn about New Wine, please consider giving a bit of time every couple of weeks to get together with others and stick labels on mailings.

Conference: If you like working behind the scenes at events, please consider volunteering some time to help with this year’s conference on Faith and the Arts. From strategic planning to hospitality to promotions to day-of activity, there’s much to get done before the Spring, and you can be a part of the planning and creation!

If you are ready to get involved or have questions, contact Sarah Kurth or stop by the New Wine office in Travis-Lovitt Hall.
