Friends,
We have some ongoing volunteer opportunities at the church in order to keep providing some of the things that we treasure and for you to put some skin in saying, “I am the church.” Here are brief descriptions of the opportunities and contact information for you to ask questions or indicate interest. Get them before they’re gone!
- Memorial Candles Ziggurat: Each week we have candles available for you to light in prayer or memory of someone you love. The candles need weekly tending, as some of decorative candles and tea lights burn down and need replacing. This role takes approximately 20 minutes each week and can be someone’s sole responsibility or a shared responsibility. Click here to contact Sue-Ann Wichman if you have questions or are willing to help.
- Keynote Presentations: Each Saturday and Sunday during worship we need someone to advance the slides of our Keynote presentations. With a leadership bulletin and preview slides, this role requires you to come in 20 minutes prior to worship and to work during the service. Click here to contact Judith Hug if you have questions or are willing to help.
- Video Streaming: Each Saturday and Sunday worship service is streamed on YouTube, with about 100 views each weekend. We have three cameras in the sanctuary that enable those who view from home to participate. With a brief tutorial, choosing and aiming the cameras is a delightful way to engage in the service and help others to do the same. We need someone who can run the video stream during Saturday services, either weekly or occasionally. Click here to contact Sue-Ann Wichman if you have questions or are willing to help.
- Audio Engineer: Each Saturday and Sunday service requires someone to run the sound board. It is a skill that one can learn by working alongside our existing engineers. We need someone who would be willing to run the audio controls during the Saturday worship services either weekly or occasionally. Click here to contact Sue-Ann Wichman if you have questions or are willing to help.
- Liturgists: Each Sunday, liturgists lead our Call to Worship and other parts of worship. The script is written out and sent ahead of time and only requires the comfort and skill of public speaking. The more liturgists we have in the rotation, the less frequently we call on them. Click here to contact Sue-Ann Wichman if you have questions or are willing to help.
- Ushers and Greeters: Studies show that a person’s first ten minutes attending a church for the first time largely determines whether they will attend a second time. Our greeters and ushers are those who provide that first welcome to guests, and make the rest of us feel loved when we enter also. Ushers also serve the church by enabling us to collect offerings each week. The more ushers and greeters we have in the rotation, the less frequently we call on them.

- And Others: Of course, there is a never-ending need for Sunday School teachers, Choir members, Commission members, and especially those who show up week after week with a prayer on their lips and a song in their hearts. If that’s what you have to give, Thanks!
You are the church!
