Volunteers Needed for Community Outreach
|
Catalina UMC is showing up in the community! We are looking for volunteers to help staff Catalina UMC's booth at St. Philip’s Plaza Market and Cyclovia, whose route passes by our church this year.
|
We need 2-3 volunteers per shift:
|
- St. Philip’s Plaza Market (Saturday, 3/29): noon - 3pm
· Cyclovia (Sunday, 4/6): 9:00am-12pm and 1:00pm-3:00pm

At our booth, we’ll offer a children’s activity to engage families and promote upcoming Catalina events, while also listening and learning from the community. These outreach efforts are part of our mission to meet people where they are and discern how we can be a meaningful presence in Tucson. To sign up, contact Pastor Kelli at [email protected].
