Mayor's Holiday Lighting

Parker’s beloved Black Friday tradition is just around the corner! Joy has proudly sponsored this event for several years, and we’re excited to serve our community again this year. We’ll be staffing the event, helping visitors with a scavenger hunt, and hosting our Joy Church booth to share information about our Christmas services. The Town of Parker provides us with a free booth and valuable community exposure, making this event an incredible opportunity to connect with our neighbors and promote the church. We’d love your help on Friday, Nov 28 from 3:30p-7:30p! Sign up to volunteer HERE

Ushers Needed

We would love to have some additional ushers for the 5:30p Saturday service and the 8:00a and 10:30a Sunday services. A few individuals who were so involved have moved or unable to continue ushering for personal reasons or health issues. Joy is blessed with many wonderful, generous participants, so please consider joining us as an usher. It’s a great way to meet many of our Joy attendees. The assignment is typically about once every 6 weeks, and the current volunteers are great about substituting if one is scheduled and cannot serve at the appointed time. Please contact Lola McDonald, for more information. Thank you for considering this opportunity to serve the Joy Community.

Joyful Watchers

We are looking for volunteers to join Joyful Watchers. Sign up to ensure the safety at JOY! If you are interested in more information, please contact joyfulwatchers@joylc.org.  You can also go to “Sign up Central” in the Narthex.
