Most of these would involve only a once-a-month commitment. Consider getting involved. And learn more about how to become a member of our church community.
A primary goal of the Community Life Council is to build and enhance our beloved community. Through a series of annual events, members come together to get to know one another better, to meet new members and friends, and to learn and have fun in community. Read about some of the specific events this council sponsors. These events are wonderful opportunities to get your feet wet as a volunteer. Working on a specific event is a time-limited commitment -- and seeing the community come together for something you worked on can provide great satisfaction.
Faith Development and Lifespan Learning
This group develops educational opportunities for children, adults, and children and adults together. Volunteers are always welcome. Your time and ideas are welcome in many areas. You might choose to help in a children's class or offer to teach a class for adults. You can help plan future programs. You might offer to be a "Guest Star" teaching the children a specific skill or interest one Sunday during the summer. Or you might choose to get involved in one of our Community Learning Days. Email learn@uuoakland.org to learn more about any of these opportunities. And see our current educational programs for adults and children.
Getting involved in this area is truly rewarding. More than 50 people are actively involved in our Music Programs, singing, playing instruments, and helping to coordinate music for all worship services and many other activities. The other way to get involved is to become a Worship Associate, or a Worship Arts Specialist to work with the ministers to create meaningful worship. Contact Kristen Montan, Worship Convenor, at krmontan@earthlink.net for more information.
