Volunteer Opportunities

Are you a warm and welcoming person? Do you enjoy worship at UUFBR? Are you wanting to work on your public speaking skills or be part of our wonderful, creative Worship Team? Then we have just the thing for you.

UUFBR’s Worship Planning Team is looking for a few new volunteers for our team. Please contact the Worship Team or talk to Rev Kathy, Alison Rognas, or Louise Malusis if you’d like to be involved in any of the following ways:

They welcome people into the Sanctuary, hand out Orders of Service and hymnals, help congregants find seats, and collect the offering.

they give our Zoomers voice by sharing the joys and sorrows expressed through the chat, and celebrate how vibrant our Zoom community Is by celebrating how many participants are worshipping on Zoom. And yes, you can do it even if you’re in the Sanctuary!

they give Zoom participants all the information needed to fully enjoy and understand the worship service: our minister’s name, where to get moreinfo about UUFBR and how to donate. It’s easy-just copy and paste from the script.

They are the stage managers and emcees of worship, gathering all the participants, helping light the chalice and making the bowl sing, and there’s a script for that role, too!

Seeking a Compassionate Card Sender.  Are you someone who is homebound and not able to help in more physical ways but still want to help? Well this may be the right position for you. A Compassionate Card sender is someone who sends out cards when notified of someone who needs one. You must be able to receive messages without difficulty from the UUFBR administrator and others who let you know that someone is in need and use the supplies from UUFBR to send them out. You must also maintain a list of cards that are sent. Are you Interested? Please call our office at 561-482-2001 or send us an e-mail at . You could be our Compassionate Card Sender!

Since the coffee and cookies don’t fix themselves, we are always looking for a few good folks to volunteer to set up the Coffee Hour spread before the Sunday Service or to clean up afterward. Or any day — we can always use a snack backstock to keep in the freezer until needed, like mini-muffins, donut holes, pound cakes, frozen fruit, etc.  Next time you go grocery shopping, would you please pick up an extra treat to share on Sunday?

Contact Marybeth Kugler for more info. Please put Coffee Hour Volunteer in the subject line.

Got a ready smile? Volunteers are needed for the Welcome Desk, to greet new and old friends and to make sure newcomers have a name tag and a few helpful hints.

Contact Sharon Drew to help out. Please put Welcome Desk Volunteer in the subject line.
