The More We Get Together

Unitarian Universalist congregations are called to be of service to the world. At the same time, the vitality of each congregation depends on individual members’ service to their own community. This session recognizes people who support their community with volunteer service. Today we will demonstrate how volunteer service sustains their Unitarian Universalist congregation, build connections between participants and adult congregational member/volunteers, and empower participants to act in service to sustain their congregational community.

Take Home

Tell one another about ways you volunteer on behalf of your congregation and why you have chosen the particular tasks you have taken on. What do you get out of volunteering? How does serving your community make you feel? Why does it matter that you do it?

Volunteer, as a family, to serve your congregation. Can you make music for a worship service? Serve as greeters for worship? Bring snacks to share for a social hour? Tidy or restock the religious education program’s supply closet? Together, choose a task you would feel good about volunteering to do. Seek out the person responsible for that aspect of congregational life and arrange the service opportunity. Afterward, discuss how the experience made you feel. Perhaps you will decide as a family to volunteer again.
