Please take a look at the opportunities to volunteer in the UUFA community below. For general questions or concerns, reach out to volunteer@uuathensga.org. Â
There is a need for a team of folks to help with the receptions after memorials and funerals here at UUFA. Would you be willing to help with these?
This is a separate team from the Hospitality folks who work to bring us Community and Conversation each Sunday. The team works with Rev. Pippin to ensure that the reception is well-planned. The memorial reception team would only need to serve when memorials are held at the Fellowship. The
duties, in general, might include:
ï‚· Being in contact with the family to see what they want and need;
ï‚· Setting up tables and chairs for the reception prior to the service;
ï‚· Ensuring food and drinks are replenished;
ï‚· Cleaning up/washing dishes/replacing chairs and tables after the reception.
We would like to have at least 12 folks on this team, so that no one has to serve for all receptions. If 4 or so folks serve for a reception, the responsibility could be widely shared.
This is a way to serve both UUFA and a grieving family with a few hours of time and energy. Will you help? Please contact Vivian Sellers at vpsellers@gmail.com to let us know of your interest.
After several years of successfully coordinating the UUFA Circle Suppers, Lyndall Tunnell is wanting to step away but is willing to train his replacement. Are you that person?
Please contact Lyndall (kathylyndall@gmail.com or 317-855-0009) for further information about Circle Suppers in general and the coordinator position in particular.Â
Circle Suppers are groups of UUFA members and friends get together monthly to share a meal and conversation.
Individuals who participate take turns hosting groups of about eight folks. Hosts decide on locations for the monthly gatherings, and those attending are asked to contribute a food dish for the meal, which often is not a supper at all.Â
Each month the Circle Supper groups are different, and before long, everyone gets a chance to know just about everyone else. Circle Suppers are a great way to meet more UUFA members and friends in an informal and relaxed setting–and the food is not bad either!
