WAYS TO SERVE
We’d love to help you find your place to serve at Lake Highlands UMC. Whether you enjoy meeting new people, working behind the scenes, singing or playing an instrument, caring for kids and youth, or serving our neighbors, there’s a spot for you.
CURRENT OPPORTUNITIES
SERVE ON SUNDAYS: GREETERS, USHERS, AND LITURGISTS NEEDED
We’re building our 2026 schedule for greeters, ushers, and liturgists at both the 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. services. These roles help make worship feel warm, organized, and easy to follow. If you can smile, offer a bulletin, guide someone to a seat, or read aloud, you’re qualified. No experience needed — we’ll make sure you feel comfortable. You can serve once a month or jump in more often; choose the dates that work for you at our Sunday services.
Questions? Reach out to Gretel Roberts, Director of Spiritual Formation & Hospitality, at gretel@lhumc.com.
VOLUNTEER IN CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL
Our Children’s Ministry is looking for a few caring adults to help make Sunday mornings safe, welcoming, and meaningful for our kids. Whether you prefer to support behind the scenes or lead a small group, there’s a role that fits your availability and comfort level.
Be an Extra Set of Eyes
Help keep classrooms running smoothly during Sunday School by being present, attentive, and supportive. No teaching or preparation required—just your presence and care. Serving even once in a while makes a big difference.
Lead a Children’s Small Group
Leading a small group is simple and impactful. You’ll guide a brief discussion using questions we provide, then close with prayer—no prep needed. A commitment of just 2–3 Sundays per semester helps create consistency and community for our kids.
Questions? Contact Stephanie Campoverde, Director of Children & Family Ministries, at children@lhumc.com.
SUPPORT THE FEED LAKE HIGHLANDS FOOD PANTRY
Our partners at Feed Lake Highlands provide food and other essentials to neighbors living on fixed, limited, and low incomes. You can support this important ministry by donating needed items or volunteering at The New Room.
Donate Items
Drop off donations in the buckets in the LHUMC Narthex anytime or at The New Room (10061 Whitehurst Drive, Suite 100) on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Current needs include frozen meat (no pork, please), shelf-stable juice, peanut butter, canned chicken and tuna, family-sized cereal, canned fruit, paper products, personal and dental hygiene items, and cleaning supplies.
Volunteer
Volunteers are needed to receive and organize donations on Tuesdays and help prepare and distribute food on Wednesdays. Most shifts are approximately two hours, with several times and roles available.
Minors ages 6–15 must serve alongside a parent or guardian, and all volunteers under 18 must submit a minor volunteer waiver.
SUPPORT LOCAL FAMILIES WITH SEEDS OF SUPPORT
Seeds of Support is a ministry of LHUMC and serves families in our community who are navigating financial and educational barriers. Our goal is to meet immediate needs while empowering families through learning opportunities, connection, and care.
Through Seeds of Support, families receive diapers, baby wipes, and essential baby supplies, along with access to classes and workshops that support long-term stability and self-sufficiency.
We are currently collecting diapers in all sizes (small packs of 20–25 preferred), with the greatest need for sizes 5, 6, and 7, along with overnight pull-ups for older children, baby wipes, and other essential baby supplies. Please drop off items at Entrance D. Your generosity helps ensure families feel supported, seen, and equipped to move forward.
Seeds of Support is also seeking childcare volunteers on Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon to care for children while parents are in classes. If you have questions or would like to volunteer, contact Lili Rodriguez, Lead of Seeds of Support, at sos@lhumc.com.
