Volunteer Opportunities

Icon of St. JamesStewardship is a complete lifestyle, a life of total accountability and responsibility acknowledging God as Creator and Owner of all.  The responsible management of  the time and talent God has given us.   It enhances our relationships with God and one another.  

Office

Answer the Phone and Door
Come in for several hours occasionally (on call) to answer the door and phone during meetings and busy times for the staff.

Bulk Mailing
We use bulk mailing quarterly for statements, annually for the Annual Appeal and our newsletter several times a year.  Help is needed to fold, stuff and seal. 

Data Entry and other Specialized Office Tasks
We need volunteers for other office tasks (some require background checks).  Check with us on needs and qualifications.

Facilities and Grounds

Painting, repairing, cleaning
We often have work parties for special needs: Repainting a room or portion of a building, spring cleaning in the Hall, preparing the Church for Easter or Christmas.  

We need “able-bodied” men and women who can do some lifting and moving to set up and take down for Open Houses, dinners and other functions.

Gardening
Each summer we have monthly work parties to keep our yard and gardens looking great.  All help is welcome from weekly lawn mowing to bark dusting every couple of years, to spring planting, flower deadheading and fall clean-up.

Woodworking or special talents
If you have a special knack or talent for something, please let us know.  Perhaps there is a way you can share your ability to paint, finish furniture, or do tile work, or provide licensed electrical or plumbing work.  Let us put your name on a list to call when we have a project.

Religious Education Programs

The Faith Formation of our parishioners is an important service to St. James.  Each year teachers, aids and helpers are needed for our Religious Education program.  Hospitality staff and sponsors are needed for our R.C.I.A. program.
