Category: 'Volunteer Needs'
The Sunday morning Special Needs Ministry needs you! We need adults and teens to staff the Special Needs Class (F002) on Sunday mornings. We provide respite care on Sunday mornings from 9:30 – 12:00 so families with children who have special needs can come be a part of our church family and worship together.
Do you have an hour you could share? If so, please contact Kim McGarr at kim.mcgarr@mtbethel.org or at 770-971-8938.
Have you ever seen those people on Sunday mornings in those really cool black shirts that say crew? You can have one too!
Come be part of our Live it Live Family. Visit our “Live it Live” volunteer needs page and you will see the different opportunities we have where you can serve. We would love to have you!
As we prepare for our Back to School schedule for Children’s Ministry, we’re in need of volunteers to bring care and compassion and Christian Discipleship to our children. We have a spot for you.
Sunday School Coaches/Assistant Coaches
Each class needs adult leaders to tell stories, lead conversation, and engage children in learning the Good News. We have 4 classes for each age/grade, and each class needs at least 2 adults. Some couples are able to team teach and alternate weeks of service. Elementary classes (Kindergarten - 5th grade) meet at 9:30, and Preschool Classes (ages 2-4) meet at 9:30 or 11.
Logistics Team Members
Every Sunday we need volunteers to pass out roll books, track attendance, assist with security issues, and support our coaches. Team members serve on a rotating schedule each month. Service times are 9:15 – 10:30 (Elementary or Preschool) and 10:30 – Noon (Preschool).
Computer Check in Station Volunteers
We’re using our technology for better ministry in our preschool areas. Computer check in prints name tags with security information, tracks visitors, and processes attendance. We offer training for volunteers to keep the computers running, and assist visitors. Stations are manned in downstairs and upstairs preschool halls, and in the narthex for God’s Garden. Volunteers needed for the preschool at 9:15 – 9:45 a.m. or 10:45 – 11:15 a.m.
God’s Garden Volunteers
Children ages 3-5 can attend Sanctuary worship with their parents at 9:30 or 11. During the service, children are invited forward for Moments with the Minister, then dismssed to Room A35 below the Sanctuary for fun with Farmer Joe. While parents of attendees are assigned to serve on a rotating schedule, we need regular volunteers to assist with computer check in, escort children to God’s Garden, and assist in crowd control and pick up during the program.

Many of you may not know that Mt. Bethel is among the many groups committed to providing volunteers to stay overnight at the MUST shelter, The Elizabeth Inn. This can be one of our most personally rewarding volunteer tasks as we interact with and learn about people who are temporarily homeless. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to find members who will spend the night. Because or our large membership, MBUMC is committed to the 5th, 12th, and 20th of every month. We need to provide at least two people each night. It works great to have a man and a woman or a family unit.
My husband, daughter and I have all stayed there and can say that it is safe and painless, and an eye opening experience when we realized that many of these homeless are families with children! Some people have a difficult time making it to work the next day after doing laundry for the guests most of the night, but we have many times a year when one or two of the nights are on the weekend!
As of today, most of 2008 has no MBUMC members signed up after June 20th! If you volunteer for this 10 or 12 hour service to some of Cobb County’s poorest, it promises to be more of a blessing to you than to them! to volunteer please email sueleit@mindspring.com or sherry.reed@mtbethel.org.
Program Volunteers: Early retirees, youth (13 +), college students home for the summer, anyone with a heart for Seniors. (Once a month or more! 10:30-2:30 M, T, W, TH)
Activity Volunteers: Musicians, Artists, or anyone with a Special Hobby or Talent to share. (anytime 10:30 – 2:30 M, T, W, TH)
Lunch Volunteers: Friends, Neighbors, or Families that enjoy cooking. Pre-prepare in your home a lunch or snack for our morning “Snack and Yak”. (one time or once a month)
Please call Allison Fischer at 770-579-9224 for more information.
Here are some areas around the church that need you to come volunteer.
Sunday School
Did you know that Children’s Ministry will need over 85 volunteers every Sunday from June 1 - August 10 to minister to the children who will arrive to hear the Word of God at Mt. Bethel? To volunteer, contact Janis Caverlee (preschool) or Sherri Juliani (elementary) to join the team this summer.
VBS Volunteers Needed
Youth and adult volunteers are vital to the success of Vacation Bible School. Contact Dianne Hylton if you would like to volunteer your time. A free lunch is provided.
Parking Shuttle
Our parking lot shuttle, “Toby” the golf cart, runs on Sunday mornings from 9:15 to 12:30. There are 2 shifts from 9:15 to 10:45 and 10:45 to 12:30. This is a once a month or every other month commitment. Toby is very helpful to members who park far away with small children and senior members, too. We also need parking ushers to help direct members and visitors to available spots. Contact Kibbie Jones for more information.
Greeters on Sundays
Welcome church members and visitors for a 30-minute shift for a month and rotate with two other teams every 3rd month. We rely on greeters from 9:00am to 9:30am and 10:30am to 11:00am. Substitutes are available. This is an easy way to get to know other church members. Contact Kibbie Jones for more information.

Infusion Camp for rising 5th through 8th graders
We need adult men over 25, preferably married with children who can be a chaperone in a cabin with 10 boys ( rising 5th - 8th ) grade for the week.
There will be 2 chaperones, one adult and one teen or college male. The chaperones are responsible for knowing where the boys are at all times, leading a small group and general helping out with camp activities.
Cost is $350 to cover the cost of room and board. It will be a wonderful time for spiritual growth for all involved as well as making new friends in Christ. Please contact Dianne Hylton if you are available to help.
