Serve Opportunities
Hospitality Team
We are currently seeking a few additional volunteers to serve on our Hospitality Team, particularly during our 8:00 am and 11:00 am services. If you have a heart for welcoming others and helping people feel connected within our church community, we would love for you to consider serving with us. Whether greeting guests at the doors, assisting with seating, or helping create a warm and inviting atmosphere, your presence can make a meaningful difference. If another service time is a better fit for your schedule, we would still be glad to have you on the team.
Interested? Email Alondra Raya at araya@salemalliance.org
Saturday Meal Team
We are currently looking for 2–3 individuals who would be willing to provide dinner once a month on Saturday evenings for our worship and preaching team. Meals are delivered at 4:00 pm and typically serve 10–15 people each weekend. This is a meaningful opportunity to support and encourage those serving behind the scenes throughout our weekend services.
Interested? Email Alondra Raya at araya@salemalliance.org

Missions Update
Dear Salem Alliance Family,
We want to update you regarding our upcoming Baraka Refugee & Immigrant Ministries mission trip to Arua, Uganda that was scheduled during the month of June. Due to travel restrictions related to the Ebola outbreak in the region, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the trip at this time.
While we are disappointed that we cannot travel as planned, the safety of our team and our ministry partners is a top priority. We are hopeful that conditions will improve soon, and the team intends to reschedule the trip once it is safe to travel again.
We are so grateful for your generous support through the Salem Alliance Easter offering that is going to provide emergency, life-saving food aid for Sudanese refugees in Uganda. We want you to know that the funds raised will still be sent to Arua so that food distribution efforts can begin immediately through our partners there. Our team will join in with the food distribution once we are able to travel.
Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and support of this mission trip. Please pray all those who are dealing with the Ebola outbreak, for the Sudanese refugees recieving the food aid, and for wisdom and protection for all involved.
With gratitude,
Doug & Anya Holcomb
Pastors of Refugee Ministries

Giving
When you think about your monthly offering, can you remember the last time you intentionally increased it as a response to God’s ongoing blessings? Prayerful, regular growth in giving is one way we support the ministry of the church and participate in God’s work in Salem and around the World.
Here are some prayer suggestions:
• Lord, help me recognize Your ongoing blessings in my life and respond with gratitude and generosity.
• Holy Spirit, guide me as I consider whether it is time to grow in my monthly giving.
• Jesus, teach me to trust You more deeply as I make decisions about my stewardship and financial giving.
