Ways To Get Involved
Sindy PollardThere are many ways for you to get involved with congregant life. We have committees, teams, and tasks. If you have a skill that you would like to share with the church, or if you would like to learn a new one, we have something for you.
LABYRINTH TENDERS WELCOME! – The Labyrinth Team would hopes to widen the circle of monthly First Sunday Tenders. This Gift of Service is for ONE time, for 3 hours, during the next church year. There is always an experienced Tender teamed with an assistant Tender. Specific directions provided, no lifting or moving, all supplies on hand ….an easy, fun way to join our Labyrinth ministry. Contact office@uuclonline.org
Crafters, Creatives, Cooks and Makers – The fall series “The Spirituality of Making” is in need of volunteers to instruct, assist and participate. The groups will meet throughout the year and will be held on a wide variety of subjects and mediums.
Sunday Volunteers Welcome – Join the joy and love of Sunday morning gatherings. Below are the roles and the contacts if you would like to be part of making Sunday mornings happen and/or have questions (orientation provided): Coffee Hour Team (currently first Sundays) – office@uuclonline.org, Choir – eli@uuclonline.org, Tech Volunteer (sound, camera, Zoom, production) – eli@uuclonline.org, Worship Associate – minister@uuclonline.org
Memorial Service Hospitality Team Volunteers Needed – The Memorial Service Hospitality Team needs to expand its ranks. The need for a memorial service is unpredictable which means that we need a sizable pool of people to draw on when the need arises. Providing hospitality for a memorial service is one of the ways that we minister to one another. In times of loss and grief, the smallest things that we do for the bereaved take on great meaning. Please email Cindy Foster-Clark at cfosterclark@gmail.com to sign up and/or ask questions
There are a couple of ways to be of help.
1. Join the small circle of people that are behind the scenes figuring out the most effective ways we can assist with memorial services at UUCL. We meet periodically on Zoom.
2, Assist the day of the memorial service. Put your name on the list to be notified by email when a memorial service has been scheduled. Individuals then respond whether they are available to help the day of the service. We need greeters/ushers and folks to help with receptions. Ideally, we would have enough volunteers that there would be two shifts of people to help with receptions so no is tied up for too long.
Coffee Hour Volunteers – We are in need of someone to come in and assist with coffee hour or to contribute to sponsoring that very special social time in UU life. For more information contact office@uuclonline.org
Worship Associates Needed In Person and on Zoom – You have a voice to lend to our worship services. We ask that anyone who wishes to be involved in worship service planning and participation to let us know. If you’d like to try out a new way of serving UUCL or to renew your previous work as a Worship Associate, please contact Kim Chappell at k69chappell@gmail.com or Rev. Pat at minister@uuclonline.org
The Personnel Committee has several openings for new members. The committee now meets monthly on the 3rd Wednesday of the month on Zoom. We are looking for members who want to work with and advocate for church staff. If you’re interested or have questions, email Leslie Laird Board liaison to the Personnel Committee at llaird366@gmail.com
The Tech Team is always looking for people. You don’t have to have a wealth of tech knowledge to assist. Contact Eli Sauls at Eli@uuclonline.org for more information. The tech team helps those who are unable for various reasons, to make it in person to our Sunday service. An hour or two per week could make a tremendous difference in the lives of your fellow congregants.
Stewardship Volunteers – Please help us protect our future at UUCL by volunteering to make a few phone calls to remind people to make their pledge for next year. We know that no one likes to ask people for money, and we’re not asking you to do that. We just need a few people willing to have a conversation with other UUs about sending in their pledge so that we know what our budget and programming is for next church year – no dollars need be mentioned. Please contact Darcy Pollock at dapollock@comcast.net. Many thanks.
