Sunday Volunteers

These groups all support our Sunday services in a variety of ways. There are opportunities for additional volunteers in many of these areas. Please send an e-mail to the contact provided if you are interested in helping out. We would welcome your contribution! Thank you.

Audio/Visual Team

Are you interested in sound? Our Audio/Visual Team is actively seeking volunteers. No experience is necessary and the technology is easy to learn. If you can listen to a room, we can teach you this new skill. Our A/V team rotates the responsibility for handling the amplification and recording of Sunday services and special events. If this sounds like something you wish you could do, please talk to Chris Engdahl or send an e-mail to audio.visual@uufs.org to learn more. Thank you!

Choir

The UUFS Choir is a wonderful group of people who lift their voices in song to practice every Thursday night from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. All are welcome to join, no matter how much or little musical experience you have. We sing a variety of music both religious and secular. Please join us for fellowship in a loving, supportive environment. We’d love to have you make music with us! For more information contact any choir member or Alan Herrmann at choir@uufs.org.

Coffee Hour Baristas

In recent months, our much-loved coffee hour service has become infinitely more sustainable and less dependent on a single person. We now have a rotating team of fair trade coffee brewers, an enormous reduction in waste with the use of reusable mugs, and clean-up assistance with the institution of our new “color-coded stick” shared-snack plan. Click here for ideas and suggestions on what you might bring. If you have any questions or would like to be part of this effort, please contact barista@uufs.org. Thank you all for your goodwill and support of our efforts!

Librarian

Our Librarian, Ginny Merry, maintains our UUFS Rolling Cart Library which is available during our Coffee Hour in Shephard Hall. Contact Ginny at librarian@uufs.org. Check out our Recommended Reading page for the latest recommendations from Ginny for books available from our Rolling Cart Library. Our book collection is cataloged at http://www.librarything.com/catalog/UUFS.

Usher Coordinator & Ushers

The Usher Coordinator ensures that services are adequately staffed with ushers. Our Ushers prepare the area and greet people as they arrive. They pass out orders of service, accommodate seating issues, collect offerings, and at the end of the service, document the money collected. Contact Janice Wentz at ushers@uufs.org with any questions. 

Welcome Table Associates

Welcome Table Associates set up the welcome area before our Sunday morning service, create and handout name tags to new and returning visitors as they arrive, and assist visitors by answering questions. When the service begins, associates determine how many people are in attendance and at the end they collect information cards, refresh the cards in the pews, and put away the name tags. Two associates help our Welcome Table Coordinator each Sunday. If you can help, please speak with those at the table or e-mail  connections@uufs.org.

Worship Associates

Worship Associates help plan the Sunday Services with the Minister and make sure that the service runs smoothly. There are a range of duties that need to be performed every Sunday. Many, like bringing out our chalice table and “setting the stage,” can be done in the background. Other roles, like passing the microphone or doing readings during the service are more public. Some Worship Associates even plan and lead services. The Worship Associate role is flexible and designed to grow with you. If you have any questions, please contact worship@uufs.org.

See both our Governance page and our Ministry Teams page for other service opportunities.
