Volunteer Opportunity

Are you willing and able to help count the offering after Sunday service? It only takes about 15 minutes, training is provided, and you’ll always have a counting partner. The more people who volunteer, the less often each of us will need to take a turn.

Please contact Pati Maier at treasurer@UUCFM.org if you can help out. Thanks!
