Service Opportunities

Help build community from a distance! We’re looking for Zoom Hosts! These can be monthly, weekly, or even just a one time thing. Have an idea? Ready to lead? Send an email to dre@uucj.org

The current team of Zoom ushers for Sunday services needs additional members.  Ushers admit attendees to the service, monitor for inappropriate activity (of which there has been none so far!), and have the authority to remove a perpetrator if there is any.  You will serve about once a month from 10:45 a.m. until the close of the worship service; no responsibility for…

Long time member, Mary Claire Van Der Horst, has been unable to receive Sunday services or chat on Facebook with us because of an ancient, non-working computer.  I have a new Dell laptop for her and hope someone with good technical skills will volunteer to install it and get her hooked up to her AT&T account.  She lives on the northside on Trout River Drive.  Please…

UUCJ has supported Arlington Community Services Food Pantry and their other services for many years, and they need our help! Carlos Fraticelli drops off UUCJ’s donation every Tuesday, and he is…
