Volunteer Opportunities

Religious Education (RE)
Religous education is an important part of the Unitarian Universalist experience. We welcome participation in facilitating or simplying helping out with either/both Adult and Children's program

Worship Leaders
Worship Leaders help deliver a smooth and meaningful worship experience on Sunday morning. The Worship Leaders speak from the pulpit during the chalice lighting and readings, facilitate Candles of Joy and Sorrow, choose readings and hymns, introduce the speaker, and close the service. Volunteers for this role are encouraged to meet with the Worship Committee monthly to help plan and prepare for upcoming services.

Worship Committee
Members of the Worship Committee plan worship programs and help lay leaders with any special needs. We are looking for new members to help with programming and to coordinate the production of a weekly order of service.

Membership Committee
Among other things, members of this committee greet visitors, help the facilitator create a welcoming atmosphere, develop a plan for integrating newcomers into the congregation, and maintain records of members and friends.

Finance Committee
The finance committee is responsible for the management of financial resources. The finance committee works with other committees and the board of trustees to develop a budget based on past experiences and on the congregation’s vision of the future and the mission statement.

HUUF Board Nominating Committee
The nominating committee works to find members willing to serve on the HUUF board of directors.

Social Action/Justice Committee
There are many ways to actively seek social justice through the HUUF community. The Social Action Committee coordinates community projects like our work at Little Black Creek Water Park. We are looking for committee members with ideas and energy.

HUUF Board
If you would be willing to serve on the board as a trustee or officer, please let one of the current Board Members know. HUUF Board Members attend monthly meetings to make decisions about how to run HUUF.

Public Relations/Newsletter
Members of this committee help coordinate public relations for HUUF. We are looking for people who would like to help with public relations and with the newsletter.

Potluck Sunday Volunteer
Volunteers help set up for first Sunday pot luck dinners and clean up afterward. This job often falls to the same few folks month after month. We’re looking for volunteers who can help out occasionally so the faithful few can take off now and then.

Circle Supper Program
We need volunteers to help coordinate Circle Suppers. Circle Suppers – circulating supper groups – are a meaningful and fun way to build and maintain fellowship within our church community. We’re looking for one or two members to help organize the groups.

Music@HUUF
Everyone is welcome to participate in music at HUUF! There are no auditions. If you play an instrument or sing and would like to contribute your talents, please let us know.

If you would like to volunteer in any of these capacities, please send an e-mail to Susan Nordurft
