In Our Church
Ministry Within Our Church
There are many opportunities, all described below, to minister within Bozeman United Methodist Church. Click one of these links or scroll down to view them.
-
Help needed. Just one hour a week to maintain our red registry books for each Sunday. Volunteering on Thursday or Friday would be best. Call Chris at 586.5413.
-
9:45 worship attendees: Could you help with Fellowship Time by fixing coffee, hot water, and juice at 9:00 a.m.? No clean up needed. This would be a very helpful ministry to our whole church. Call Kerry at 586.5413.
-
Sunday school teachers needed: Each age group has a four-person team, for an average commitment of two days a month.
-
Sunday morning worship services: It may look effortless, but worship services don't just happen without valuable volunteers.
-
Nurture Care Team: These compassionate volunteers minister to our congregation in so many ways.
-
And much more: There are many additional opportunities to help, whether it's one-time only or an on-going commitment.
Worship Team

Altar flowers grace our sanctuary every Sunday of the year. You may sign up to bring flowers or have them ordered by calling Chris. Garden bouquets are always welcome.

In the United Methodist Church, communion is open to all regardless of age or church membership. We serve bread or rice wafers and grape juice. Serving communion to others is a meaningful experience. Adults and young people who have completed confirmation class are welcome to join us in serving.

| Lay Readers |
Adults and youth can participate in worship on Sunday mornings by reading the scripture and a Psalm at one of the worship services.
|
| Liturgical Design |
The Liturgical Design Team is a group of women and men who use their artistic gifts to create a welcoming, comfortable, and beautiful church environment for each liturgical season.

| Ushers |
Ushers play a vital role on Sunday morning. They help newcomers feel comfortable and welcomed, and they also help with collecting the offering and occasionally serving communion. Your help is wanted for this important ministry.

|
Shepherds take care of our church family. If someone is ill, they make arrangements for whatever would be helpful: meals, running errands, child care, and other help. Shepherds try to keep our large church family well loved and cared for.
|
| Prayer Chain |
Anyone can call with a prayer request, and anyone who is willing to pray for others and our community is welcome to become a part of a prayer chain. We currently have three very active chains going.
|
| Visitation |
The visitation group is an exciting new group. Some people are “buddying up” with a person in a nursing home, and others are going out and visiting shut-ins, folks in the hospital, and newcomers to our church.
