Sunday Morning Volunteers: Join The Fun!

Feb 4, 2025 | Beacon, Exclusively For Members

“You cannot volunteer at your own church, in the same way you cannot babysit your own kid. Because the church belongs to you in the same way your family does. It’s your own place, your own people. So of course you help take care of it. Of course you do yard work and make coffee and teach the kids and sing in the choir and whatever all else it is you do for the home and the people that you love.” –Erin Wathen

How to Volunteer at East Shore on Sunday Morning

First, if you are new to volunteering don’t worry – you will have a “buddy” to show you the ropes on your first shift.  The link below will take you to the Realm Volunteering page. Realm is our membership database system, and the volunteer module allows individuals to sign up for timeslots like the way that Sign Up Genius works.

When you click on this link, you will see the volunteer opportunities on through March 30, 2025. On the left side is the list of volunteer jobs and on the top banner you will see the Sunday dates. In the upper right corner, you can forward to the next week.

Once you are on the date that you want to volunteer for, click the “+Add” next to the role and time you want to select. If your device is not already signed into your web account, you will need to add your email address and password to the form that pops up.

Now that you are logged into Realm, you can click on “+Add” and you’ll see your name preloaded. Simply click on the blue “Sign up ” button to volunteer.

If you want to do this role regularly, you can select from the repeat options that appear when you click on the repeat link.

If you have any trouble signing up to volunteer, please send an email to Jeanne Lamont at [email protected], and we’ll do our utmost to help you.
