Volunteer Opportunities
This page tells some of the ways you can serve MVUC and have a good time doing it.
Editing of Recorded Sunday Services for Website
Recordings of Sunday services are now added to the website as podcasts. If you are looking for a good way to contribute to MVUC, this could be for you. No special skills are needed, other than a reasonable level of comfort with things electronic. We will teach you what you need to know, and it’s not all that complicated. Contact Raleigh Romine at raleighr@mac.com or at 703-329-9257.
Coordinator for Sunday Morning Refreshments
Duties include keeping a calendar of Setup and Cleanup Volunteers. Remind volunteers by e-mail of their specific service date and let them know if they should bring supplies. Inventory and shop for supplies for Refreshment Hour. Notify Church administration when we are low on cups for coffee or juice. When low on coffee, arrange for fair-market coffee to be purchased and delivered to Church. To volunteer, e-mail or phone Kay Youngflesh, kyoungflesh@comcast.net or 703-683-0890.
Green Sanctuary Task Force Member - If you want to support greener life styles, we can use your enthusiasm and time. We need more volunteers to serve on the Green Sanctuary task force, come up with new initiatives and help execute them. Contact Bill Alsmeyer-Johnson, bill@alsjohn.com.
Hospitality on Sunday mornings - Set-up and Clean-up Volunteers Needed for Refreshment Hour
Set-up volunteers bring sweets, make coffee and arrange table and coffee counter before First Service. Clean-up volunteers do so after Second Service (refresh and straighten up table and coffee counter as soon as Second Service ends and start cleanup 20 minutes after that.) We specifically need Cleanup Volunteers for 5th Sunday (there are only about 3 per year). We also need substitutes and permanent volunteers to setup and cleanup for some Sundays. To volunteer, e-mail or phone Kay Youngflesh, kyoungflesh@comcast.net or 703-683-0890
Personnel Committee Member - Help determine policies that govern staff salaries, benefits, and working conditions. Monthly evening meetings. Contact Linda Walton, lwalton2@cox.net.
Provide Flowers for a Sunday Service - Floral tributes can remember a loved one; acknowledge the efforts of a church group, committee or cause; or just celebrate the day and the joy that flowers and living things offer us. Contact Kim Cullen Cobb at kimjcc@mac.com or 703-836-0153.
Usher for Sunday Services - With one other person, host either the 9:30 or 11:15 service. Hand out hymnals, count attendance, collect and count the offering. Contact Bruce Burrows, burrows8473@aol.com or 703-609-0034.
Wednesday Fellowship Setup - First Wednesday of the month, starting at 5:30 pm, help set up for the fellowship, arrange tables and chairs, serve food, or clean-up. Contact Georgia Pourchot gpourchot@yahoo.com.
Communications Volunteers - Help tell the MVUC story! Not committee work, but more individual projects. We always have a need for writers/editors, photographers, videographers, audio visual/sound system expertise, and IT skills. Contact Bill Clontz, bill@theclontz.net.
