Sunday Volunteers

A member of the Caring Community team provides a support role during worship services by monitoring the Sunday Zoom chat window for concerns and joys posted, responding in the moment, and relaying information to the Minister and Caring Community Chair for follow-up.

If you are interested in finding out more about other needs and opportunities with the Caring Community see Care and Support Services.

These volunteers assist in Sunday classes for all grades and occasional evening sessions for grades 9-12.

Some opportunities are short term, perhaps sharing a skill or interest you might have. Others require a longer commitment.

For questions or more ideas about how you might help, see our Elementary and Youth programs. Then talk to or email our Director of Faith Formation.

These volunteers create the welcoming coffee hour experience that follows our onsite services. This social time is a great way for us to meet others, catch up, talk about the service, or the world in general. 

The Setup crew (1-2 people) arrives 30 minutes before service to set up a table in Parish Hall with cups and condiments. They prepare coffee and hot water for tea; provide cream and milk; treats are optional. 

The Cleanup crew (1-2 people) washes dishware and puts away condiments and supplies. 

For information, email our Membership Coordinator. 

Greeters provide a welcoming face for those arriving for onsite services. They arrive 15 minutes before service begins and welcome guests as they enter the sanctuary, invite newcomers to sign our guest book, and mingle and answer questions during coffee hour. 

For information or to sign up for a brief greeter training session, email our Membership Coordinator. 

No matter what your musical strength or age, we have opportunities for you. Join one of our ongoing music groups or offer your talents as a guest musician.

If you and/or your child(ren) would like to get involved talk to or email our Music Director or Assistant Music Director. 

This team provides support during our virtual Zoom broadcasts.

Training is available for those who wish to help out. Other technology needs include support for visual displays and recording services. 

For information, email our Membership Coordinator. 

Ushers arrive 20 minutes before service to greet, hand out the Order of Service, and help seat anyone with special needs. During the service they light the chalice and lead the congregation in reading our “chalice lighting words.” They also record the attendance, Joys & Sorrows, and pass the offering plates. 

For information, email our Membership Coordinator. 

Worship Assistant volunteers generally sign up for one Sunday or less a month. Worship Assistants arrive 30 minutes before service and stay 15 minutes after. They oversee Sunday Service operations including setting up the altar, checking the sound system, reading welcome and announcements, extinguishing candles at the end of service. 

An experienced Worship Assistant holds periodic training sessions of approximately 45 minutes for those who are new. To find out more, email the Worship Committee.
