Narthex Volunteers Needed Please consider volunteering as a Narthex Duty Team Member to support our Sunday Divine Services. Our Narthex Volun- teers are necessary to ensure that our Sunday Services run smoothly and seamlessly and that the needs of our parish- ioners are met as they enter to attend services. Narthex Duty Teams only serve once every 4 or 5 weeks on rotation and it only takes a week or two to understand how things work. Please reach out to the church office at 619-297-4165 if you are interested in this very import- ant opportunity to serve your community.
