Become Involved as a Worship Servant
Communion is an act of Christian worship in which bread and juice are consecrated and shared publicly, as a family, but also intimately, with each of us and Jesus. At Shueyville UMC we offer Communion once a month at each service. The Worship Team is putting together a schedule for serving Communion in the next few months. We have volunteers who prepare the elements (bread and juice), and we are asking for those who would be willing to help serve the bread and juice at each service. Instructions will be provided. Helping to serve Communion is a way to get involved in an important way without a big commitment of time. If you would be interested/willing/honored to help serve Communion anytime in the next few months, please contact Carol Crisman.
Communion Dates:
Feb 4- 8:00, 10:45
March 11- 8:00, 10:45
April 8- 8:00, 10:45 
May 6- 8:00, 9:15, 10:45

Coordinating Our Building Use
Are you needing a place at the church for a committee meeting or event? Please note that ALL scheduling of the building's use must be cleared and scheduled through Julie in the church office. This is not a "permission" issue, but we do need this central location for keeping track of the building's activities (we are thankful to be able to host a growing number of Boy and Girl Scouts this year!). Just drop an email or phone the office (848-7213), so there are no surprises. Thank you!
