What You Need to Know on the Day You Are Volunteering

  • You can bring a factory sealed beverage bottle (no alcohol) with you or bring an empty bottle that you can fill up at water fountains inside the park.
  • There is a food court with food vendors at the west end of the festival on Bannock Street.
  • Wear a colorful shirt or fun outfit!  
  • Bring information about your congregation, ministry, or welcome statement – share your ministry! 
  • Clergy are encouraged to wear a clerical collar.
  • Be prepared to share: the most important thing is to be ready to represent your congregation, ministry, and the Rocky Mountain Synod as Christ centered communities where everyone is welcome. Consider your story and why it is important for our congregations, ministries, and synod to be welcoming places and be prepared to share!
