Lots of Ways to Volunteer with RE!
✨ Many Gifts, One Community
Religious Exploration is growing—and with that growth comes more opportunities for our whole community to help bring it to life! 💜
Volunteering with RE doesn't have to mean becoming a teacher. There are so many ways to share your time, interests, skills, and gifts:
● Lead a class and help guide exploration and conversation.
● Assist a lead facilitator and be an extra supportive presence.
● Support Wonder Worship and help create meaningful worship experiences for our youngest UUs.
● Help with communications, organization, or behind-the-scenes projects.
● Lend a hand where needed without committing to an ongoing role.
If you've been a friend of HVUUC for 3 months or longer, stop by the Volunteer Sign-Up Board in the church lobby and see where you might like to jump in!
For the safety of our children and youth, background checks are required for volunteers working directly with them and are fully provided by the church.
Our programs don't happen because of one person. They happen because a community of people chooses to show up, share what they have, and create something meaningful together.
You don't have to do everything. Come share your something. 💜✨

✨ Interdependence in Action ✨
There has been SO MUCH community care happening behind the scenes and in plain sight lately! Religious Exploration is never created by one person—it comes to life through all the many ways our community shows up, pitches in, adapts, and shares their gifts.
This week, a whole lot of gratitude goes to:
