Immediate Needs

As we are now preparing for the fall and getting ready to welcome our university students back from summer vacation, UChurch is in need of volunteers for the following positions:

1.    Hospitality: greeting and ushering can be a very effective way of allowing people a pleasant experience at UChurch.  Guests often say that it was a friendly face and genuine words of encouragement that kept them coming back and helped lead them to Jesus.  UChurch currently needs six volunteers for the hospitality team.  The time commitment involves about four hours every third Sunday with duties that include:
•    Greeting people and ushering them to their seats
•    Picking up & returning the coffee; ensuring it is set up outside the church auditorium before the service begins
•    Distributing offering envelopes & connection cards
•    Conducting a head count
•    Tidying up the auditorium before and after the church service
•    Being alert to security issues that may arise
•    Loving people authentically the way Jesus does
Contact Harry at hospitality@uchurch.ca if you are interested.

2.    Podcast/Web: have you ever wondered how Sunday morning messages get from ‘live on Sunday’ to the UChurch website to your iPod playlist?  If you are curious, then this is the opportunity for you!  UChurch needs two volunteers to assist with the recording, editing, and posting of Sunday morning messages onto our website.  The time commitment simply involves being present at Sunday morning celebrations and about 15 minutes after the service, as well as one hour during the week.  No expertise is required; contact Erick at web@uchurch.ca if you are interested.

3.    Kids Church: Kids Church is a fun, exciting, and adventurous place in which we are privileged to serve kids from grades 2 – 6.  If you are passionate about loving God and have a desire to love on kids, then Kids Church is the place for you!  UChurch is currently in need of six volunteers to assist with Kids Church.  Contact Cameron and Kristina at kids@uchurch.ca for more information.

4.    Multimedia: the Multimedia Team provides visual support for Sunday morning celebrations, as well as for other gatherings throughout the year. So if creativity is your thing, and you are equipped with some basic computer skills, this opportunity may be for you!  UChurch needs three volunteers to join the Multimedia Team, with the time commitment being from 9:30 – 12:30 on Sunday mornings.  Contact Elton at multimedia@uchurch.ca if you are interested!

5.    Nursery: Nursery is a loving environment in which we bring God’s love and practical care to babies aged 0 – 2.5yrs.  We care for the littlest members of God’s family by teaching them through bible stories, spending time playing games, and praising the Lord with kid’s worship music.  UChurch currently needs five volunteers to serve in the nursery.  The time commitment would be one Sunday per month during the regular Sunday morning celebration (10:30 – 12:30).   If you are interested, please contact Jenn at nursery@uchurch.ca.

6.    Youth: the UChurch youth group has grown and developed greatly in the last several years, and is now actively involved in missions trips, participation in conferences, and serving within the community.  The youth leadership team exists to serve youth from grades 7 to 12, helping them grow closer to God and encouraging them to positively impact their schools.   UChurch currently needs two volunteers who are interested in serving as youth leaders.  For more information, please contact youth@uchurch.ca.
