Join Our Welcoming Team!
|
Becoming part of a church is a process — and it always begins in relationship! We're looking for 5–7 volunteers to help us welcome visitors to Catalina UMC. As part of the team, you'll staff our Welcome Table on Sunday mornings, receive Connect Cards, and offer gift bags to first-time guests. And then the real relationship is built in the follow-up: an invitation to visit over a cup of coffee or tea — no more than an hour — just to get to know them. Training will be provided. If interested, please contact Pastor [email protected]

Earth Day 2026 is April 22nd. It calls on communities worldwide to take action to support clean air, clean water, clean energy, protected natural resources, and climate stability. These factors are directly linked to human health, economic predictability, food security, and cross-border infrastructure performance.

Art Camp Volunteers Needed!
Instead of Vacation Bible School this summer, we are holding Art Camp at Catalina from July 6-10, 8am to Noon where we will explore different stories from the Bible through art such as painting, beading, cooking, music and more.
|
If you are interested and available to volunteer for Art Camp--to lead a class or to just be a group leader--please contact [email protected]. You will need to go through a background check and attend a training prior to camp. If you have any special artistic talents you'd love to share (even for just one day!!) we would love to hear from you!

We hope you'll join us in fellowship following the service. We try to be good stewards of the planet and recycle plastic. Please be mindful of the labels on the blue trash bins. Only the bin by the coffee is actually trash. The other two are PLASTIC ONLY and STYROFOAM ONLY. Also, please do not put liquids in any bin. The clean-up fairies thank you!
