Summer worship volunteers needed

We need volunteers to welcome visitors and usher during our summer worship services and to help with coffee and sell fair-trade items after the services. Even if you can only help once or twice, sign up here or in the Commons after services or contact Mary Foster. It's fun and easy, and if you're trying it for the first time, Mary is happy to help you get started. Thanks for helping make summer worship run smoothly.

Join an RE teaching team!

Are you kind, patient, fun-loving and young at heart? If so, then you have the attributes needed to be a teacher in UUCF's Religious Exploration program. We still need 38 more volunteer teachers to offer all the youth and children's classes we need this fall. RE teachers serve on four-person covenanted teams with guidance from a liaison and RE staff. Training and support is provided. RE at UUCF is not Sunday School! We follow small-group ministry models to create classes where fellowship, friendship, activities, stories and conversation are the conduits to learning. RE teachers rotate Sundays and choose their schedules, so you will still have plenty of opportunities to attend worship services or participate in a music program during the year. Please stop by the Commons table after services to learn more or go to the 2019-20 RE Teacher Sign-up to join a team for next year.

High School teens needed to help with child care

We need a new cohort of teens to assist with child care during worship services, special events and meetings. High School teens may work for wages or volunteer for service hours. Training is provided. Adults are always present to supervise. Interested? Contact Tasha Jackson.
