Volunteer Opportunities

Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” 

– Martin Luther King, Jr.
One of the CVUU Arts and Walls Committee’s favorite tasks is to procure artists and plan ongoing art shows for the building’s main floor art gallery in our front foyer. Since moving to our new building in 2018, CVUU has hosted a dozen such shows of local artists and photographers.

CURRENT NEEDS:

SIGN-UP FOR COFFEE HOUR!

There are two shifts you can sign up for one or both, we encourage folks to sign up in reams of two but you can sign up individually as well. SETUP starts at 10 AM until 11 AM, when service starts. SERVING/CLEANUP begins at the end of service (12 PM) which includes cleaning up after everyone leaves. 

You can sign up for shifts here:

MORE ABOUT VOLUNTEERING:

CVUU is very much a volunteer organization. Our officers and board directors are volunteers, but many other volunteers do much of the week-to-week work our beloved community needs. Volunteers contribute much to our worship service, help teach our religious education classes, host coffee and conversation after service, and perform our community service activities.

Now that we are conducting worship and other gatherings both online and in person, we have expanded our volunteer team to those who can help with our Sunday service’s technical aspects, now brought to everyone via Zoom, a video-conferencing platform. In support of our in-person services, volunteers set up the sanctuary for worship, greet arriving congregants, usher, operate the sound and light systems, perform music, sing in the choir, open the worship service, prepare and serve coffee, and close up the church.

Our volunteer Caring Team helps members with small tasks like rides to and from healthcare outpatient procedures and meals when convalescing. Etc. A Lay Pastoral Care Team helps the minister with pastoral care activities. The congregation maintains the grounds at CVUU and does maintenance tasks, small and large. 

Committees will call for volunteers occasionally, usually as we start the church year each fall with our “Ingathering Service”. Participating in a committee is a great way to serve. Coalitions of the willing perform these and other volunteer functions.

If you are interested in volunteering, please get in touch with us at office@c-vuu.org, and we will be happy to direct you to the proper contact person!
