Volunteering at Unity

Are you feeling frustrated or overwhelmed by the news when you open the newspaper, turn on the television, or boot up your computer? Well, volunteering can be a great way to cope. If you’d like to support Unity, for example, but can’t afford to donate money, you can donate your time instead. We can always use a hand. Unlike school or work, you can pick what really interests you and what is most deserving of your time. Need some ideas to get you started?

Here are just a few:
Help your neighbor.
We have several people in the congregation who want to come to church but do not have a car nor can they afford a taxi. You can make a difference in their lives by giving them a ride to church on Sunday morning or Wednesday night.

Help your environment.
Do you have a passion for our environment? Did you know we have a Green Committee that has played an important part in many of the sustainable changes at Unity, from creating our beautiful landscaping to having energy audits to help us make better choices in maintaining our buildings. Current projects include developing an energy plan for moving us into solar, and adopting a creek in a local park for community service.

Care for others.
We have several programs at Unity for holding sacred space. What does that mean? Our Chaplains contact people every month to pray with them. Our Pastoral Care Team serves refreshments at memorial services and answers your prayer requests. The Sacred Healing MeditationTeam gives people an opportunity on Wednesday evenings to experience unconditional love through prayer and blessings.

Provide health-related services.
The Wellness Ministry offers blood-sugar screening and blood-pressure testing several times a year. If you have a medical background and want to make a difference in someone’s life, this may be the place for you.

Provide technical support.
Not everyone has moved into the 21st century, but if technology turns you on, we could use you in the sound booth.

Pick up a Volunteer Opportunities flyer next to the Volunteer Board for more ideas. Then give me a call at 928-925-7740.
