Our Volunteers

When I sat down to appraise how we are doing in RE this year in terms of volunteer support, I realized that we have a remarkable level of participation.

Almost all of the parents, grandparents and caregivers who have children in the program are deeply involved in volunteer work in one way or another, whether they are on the RE Committee, helping in the classroom, providing snack or volunteering elsewhere in the church.

Of course we can always use all of the support we can get. In particular, I would love to see more members of the congregation take on the teaching of lessons. We have a diverse membership with a wide variety of skills and perspectives, and the children could really benefit from guest speakers or new teachers who can bring something unique.

However, those who have children involved in the program are doing an outstanding job at taking the initiative to give back to the program and the church. We're really quite lucky here at UCE.
