Running the church
It takes a host of people to keep our congregation humming and one of the easiest ways to get to know people at EUUC is to help with the operations. Scan this list, of activities and if one of them sounds like something you’d like to contribute to, just click on the contact link and introduce yourself!
Arms Around

Auction
Every Spring members and friends gather for a dinner, silent auction and live auction. Among the many silent auction items might be handmade desserts, jewelry, and art. Members also offer to host events as diverse as a gourmet dinner party and a guided hike to see mountain wildflowers.
Each of us has talents, knowledge, tools, and possessions that can generate auction items. Gourmet cooks bake desserts or offer dinner parties. Those endowed with repair skills and strength offer a few hours of weed pulling, hauling, or handyman services. People donate sunset cruises on Puget Sound and weekends in beach cabins. Gifted crafters knit scarves and bead necklaces. Members share their expertise by donating a few hours of computer help, bird watching tours, and lessons. People join together to host events, such as movie nights and parties. Each auction item is made valuable by the talents, treasure, and time that our friends in the EUUC community gave for their donation.
The other side of this fundraiser is attending the Auction—enjoy the social occasion and purchase those dinners, scarves, and services.

Facilities
Just like at home, faucets occasionally drip, walls need to be painted, the roof leaks, and nail holes need to be filled. A continuous stream of small jobs keep the Facilities Committee busy. Fortunately, many people generously volunteer their time to help. If you are interested in helping to maintain the buildings, please tell the committee chair what types of work you would like to do.
