A list of simple, one-hour-or-less ways to serve at FUMC Kaufman — sign up for a task and make a meaningful impact.

Do you have an hour or so to spare each week? First FUMC Kaufman has put together a list of simple, One Hour (more or less) Ministries so you can serve with meaningful impact. If there is a check mark next to a task below, that means a volunteer has already signed up — but there are still plenty of ways to jump in.

Would you like to help with the weekly worship service?

  • Liturgist (read the scripture)
  • Communion Steward (set up communion table)
  • Assist Pastor Rhea with communion
