Hello fellow RUMC members!  I wanted to pass along some volunteer opportunities sent out from the church this past week.  Please take a look at these and see if there’s something that you could pitch in and help with.  There are many types of roles available, so take a look and see if there is an area that would benefit from your gifts.

If you do see something you’re interested in, please reach out to the church contact listed. We all contribute to making Riverchase UMC the church that it is.  Thank you for lending a hand!
