CONNECTION THROUGH ENGAGEMENT
Working together with others in service is one of the best ways to meet people, make friends, and build community. There are many ways to be involved at UUCville, your presence is a gift and your contribution is both needed and appreciated.
Special Request for Volunteers!
Yard Sale donations are arriving daily (thank you all!) and one of the most donated items are linens – so we are in serious need of two (or even one!) persons that can measure and mark the linens. No experience necessary – just need two arms and a measuring tape (actually, we can provide the measuring tape). We will be eternally grateful – and you will be part of a fun team of yard sale volunteers!
Yard Sale is schedule for Saturday August 24th, 2024 .
Contact us if you want to be part of the fun, or just turn up on Tuesday or Saturday mornings. Email yardsale@uucharlottesville.org with questions.

Sunday Service Opportunities:
Participating in the worship service on Sunday is a wonderful way to be engaged with the UUCville community. These opportunities are perfect for newcomers:
Altar Decorators
Contact Leia Durland-Jones
Would you like to provide the altar flowers and decorations on Sunday to mark a special occasion, to honor someone, or to simply help create beauty in our sanctuary? Contact Leia Durland-Jones or sign up on the bulletin board outside the church office. You can bring the flowers yourself or make arrangements with Leia to have them purchased.
Choir and Music
Contact the Director of Music, Scott DeVeaux
Do you enjoy singing or who play an instrument? Share your gifts and talents. Choir practice is Thursday night from September to May. There are also opportunities for small musical groups to take part in our services. If you have a musical talent or interest, talk to our Music Director.
Greeters
Contact the Greeters & Membership team
This is an excellent volunteer opportunity for those new to the church, providing a chance to meet everyone as they arrive. Teams greet and welcome regular attendees at Sunday services as they come in the door and assist new visitors at the visitors’ table. Greeters join a 9:15 or 11:15 team and serve one Sunday every five weeks.
Social Hour – Coffee and Snack Servers
Contact the Social Hour team
Volunteers work in small teams one Sunday per month at the Social Hour after the 10:15 service by setting up, serving snacks and coffee, and cleaning up. This is a wonderful service opportunity for a family, small group or newcomer to the church. The Social Hour is an important time for the congregation; offering friendship, lively discussions and a chance to meet new people. This is where community happens!
Tech Team
Contact Rev. Tim
Help manage the online Sunday services.
Teaching Children and Youth
Contact Leia Durland-Jones & Elaine Chapman
Help shape, and learn from, the next generation of UUs as you work in a team of parents and non-parents. You will have great support from the RE Committee and our staff. We need you!
Ushers
Contact the Usher team
Ushers help to set up and organize the Sanctuary for Sunday morning services, welcome people to church, and collect the offertory. Ushers serve once a month, and volunteers are always needed. This is a great way to meet everyone at church.
