Volunteer Opportunities
Share Your Time and Talent
All programs have need of volunteers, whether you can spare a few hours or want to take up the cause. Members young and old share the responsibility for simple tasks that enhance our worship service every Sunday — and there are many ways to serve beyond our walls.
Four Ways You Can Help on Sunday
Flowers
Flowers are often given in memory or celebration of a loved one. They provide a simple but beautiful focal point for our sanctuary space. Sign up in Unity Hall.
Light the Chalice
The chalice is the symbol and sign of our Unitarian Universalist faith. Each Sunday a member or child helps us enter our worship hour by lighting the congregation’s chalice. Sign up in Unity Hall.
Ringing the Bell
Our historic church bell calls us to worship. Young and old are invited to pull the rope and listen as the bell sounds across the church green. Sign up in Unity Hall.
Food for Coffee Hour
We are a congregation that loves to eat! Several times a year we have a special theme — Chili Cook-Off, Soup Sunday or Pi(e) Sunday — and people in the congregation share in providing the food.

Sing, Teach, and More
Sing in a Choir
The Meetinghouse Choir sings for Sunday services approximately every other week and for special services like Christmas Eve. The choir is open to all singers ages 14 and up. There are no auditions. We rehearse every Thursday night from 7 to 8:30 in Unity Hall and on Sunday mornings before services.
Speak to Sarah Deveau, Director of Music Ministries, with any questions, or come to a rehearsal on a Thursday night. Learn more about music at UUAC.
Teach Faith Formation
Faith Formation teachers at UUAC are volunteers from our UUAC community. We believe that teaching is a ministry to our faith community, as we grow and shape young Unitarian Universalists and ourselves in the process. All classes are team-taught, and many teachers say that they learn a lot about Unitarian Universalism through teaching!
