It’s time to volunteer for our next Community Assistance event! We will continue to have Community Assistance on the second Saturday of the month and hope you can volunteer for a slot on the Sign-Up Genius link.

Once a month come and enjoy a light supper with opportunities to fill bags distributed to our Community Assistance guests.

This is a perfect opportunity for families with children to enjoy a service opportunity together while having an evening of fun.
Mount Olivet is looking for new members of our Liturgist crew for Traditional Worship. Liturgists help lead worship by focusing on congregational participation, reading scripture, and leading prayers. They help facilitate the flow of service, often including the Call to Worship and Opening Prayer . If you are interested, send an email to Cindy Huber. For The Way, sign up on the attendance sheet in worship or contact Pastor Jeff, jgoodman@mtolivet-umc.org No experience needed; all you need is a desire to serve Mount Olivet in this small way.
The purpose of serving in the ushering ministry is to praise God and enable worshippers to do the same by assisting with the logistical details of worship. Ushers create an atmosphere of hospitality by arriving early and providing bulletins to arriving worshippers, guiding them to available seats, taking attendance, guiding collection plates to receive the offering, and handling post-service needs, including putting Bibles and hymnals back into place for the next service.
This group is responsible for preparing the sanctuary for service on Sunday mornings. Many of the tasks can be performed prior to Sunday and may require only a small time commitment.
Welcome, assist, and advocate for refugees and immigrants. Known publicly as NOVA Friends of Refugees, we help families, share information, and hold community events, such as immigrant ally training. Volunteers help families with rent and transportation.

Help the immigrant community become active contributing citizens by learning English. Classes are offered in fall and spring semesters and training provided for new volunteers. One evening a week is the usual commitment.

Join our team of Communion Stewards in the sacred task of preparing the bread and cup for our worship services. It’s a meaningful, behind-the-scenes way to practice hospitality and ensure the Lord’s Table is ready for all who seek God’s grace.
Two children or youth each Sunday lead the choir procession into the church and bring the light of Christ into the sanctuary. They light the candles on the altar and assist with communion.

We invite you to join our team of Sunday morning greeters! Every week at Mount Olivet, worshipers are greeted as they enter the building. Greeters answer questions, share a smile, and serve as the first face many see when they arrive at Mount Olivet.
We are so excited to be together in-person, learning about God! We need volunteers to teach Sunday School and Children's Church, especially grades 1-5.

We're looking for folks to run the livestream camera at the Traditional Worship services on Sunday mornings at 11 AM! You will stand at the camera to zoom in, zoom out, and pan around in order to give our livestream viewers the best experience at home! Training is provided whenever you're available. You can serve as often as you'd like.
Coffee might seem like a small thing. Sure, someone can bring coffee from home or stop at a coffee shop on the way to church, but the ministry of hospitality is something we cannot take lightly. From welcoming a first time visitor to lifting someone's spirit after a rough morning a warm cup of coffee on Sunday morning is a way our congregation can welcome people who walk through our doors. We need your help to brew and serve. Sign up here to join our Sunday morning coffee team.
