VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR CONGREGATIONAL CHRISTMAS DINNER.

The Hospitality Committee is calling for volunteers who are willing to collect and cook Christmas Turkeys for the Congregational Christmas Dinner on December 9.

This would entail:

1. Collecting a frozen turkey on Dec. 2 after the 11 am. Sunday service;

2. Cooking the turkey and returning it on Saturday Dec.8th. The sliced,cooked turkey should be put back in the disposable pan, along with the dressing. Gravy can go into the separate container.

When I was in Burkina Faso with my sister this summer, I learned the saying "Doni doni kono nita niama" which means, in Jula (the language of the Jula people who live in Bobo Dioulasso), "Slowly, slowly the little bird builds its nest." This had become a bit of a motto for me as I work on launching the website, and passing responsibility over to the organization, one twig at a time.

Getting Involved

The Hospitality Group is right for you if...  Alternatively, you may choose to take a look at the volunteer opportunities listed on the right.

While Metropolitan United Church is a busy destination all week long, the cornerstone of our week is the 11:00 a.m. Sunday worship service, complete with preaching, choirs and fellowship. If you're considering visiting us for the first time, this is the service that will give you the best sense of what we're about. Of course, you can also drop by and see the church Monday to Friday from noon to 3 p.m. , if you'd like to look around, pray, light a candle, or just sit a while.

Here's a "Met 101" to give you a sense of what you can expect on Sunday morning.

A warm welcome is waiting
Everyone is welcome to attend our worship service. It doesn't matter if you have no religion, are of another religion, or if you've simply never been to church before. You will be greeted warmly, treated with dignity, and your privacy will be respected. No one will try to convert you. We're just happy you came and hope you find some spiritual sustenance with us. We invite you to complete a Visitor's Card if you would like to connect with one of our ministry team.

What to do when you arrive
When you arrive in the building you will be greeted by a church volunteer who will welcome you and give you a bulletin, or Order of Service. Sometimes they're busy with a lot of visitors and you may slip by them. If you're inadvertently missed by the greeters, feel free to sit anywhere you like.
