Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering on Sundays is a great opportunity to give back to the community in a way that does not require meetings or a set schedule. You can sign up for whatever job best suits you, whether it’s extroverted like greeting people at the door or ushering in the sanctuary; or a behind-the-scenes job like setting up the sanctuary or coffee hour. You’re already here on Sundays… sometimes it’s nice to have a task to connect you in a way you may not have before!
Jobs include:
- Sanctuary Set-Up/Take-down: You put up things like the Chalice, the bell, the Joys and Sorrows Bowls, etc. And then put them away after service.
- Greeters: You welcome people into the building, keeping an eye out for anyone new or returning who may need some extra help.
- Usher: You welcome people into the Sanctuary, assisting anyone who may need it.
- Coffee Hour: You make the coffee and set up the mugs and other drinks. You help with clean up after service.
- And more! Contact Hannah Nelson if you would like to learn more at officeasst@uucolumbia.net.
