Church Programs
United University Church offers numerous ways to get involved within our church community, on the USC Campus and in the greater surrounding community. Most of these activities are listed below along with their respective contacts. If you see something missing from our list, know of a different way you can help out, or have ideas for additional volunteer opportunities, please contact the church office. Want to roll up your sleeves and get to work? Join us!
UUC has a number of Bible studies, discussions and events that happen throughout the month. Keep checking the website to learn about our upcoming activities! Putting together the discussions, liturgies, and meals that go into each of these programs takes a lot of work. Let us know if you’d like to help in the planning and preparation of these wonderful programs! Please contact Katherine Schofield or the church office.
We are called to care for one another. UUC Nurture Ministries helps to coordinate activities that do just that. Want to visit with or write to our shut-in church members? Can you cook or bring food for our First Sunday Brunch or after-service social hour? Are there other contributions you would like to make? Please contact Susan Stouffer or the church office.
The UUC Peace Center organizes programs throughout the year that promote compassion and peace-building in our local community. And we can always use volunteers! Whether you’d like to tutor our Peace Kids after school or help out with Peace Camp in the summer we have opportunities to meet your interests and schedule. Please contact Peace Center Director Susan Stouffer at stouffer@usc.edu or (213) 748-0209 x13.
We collect food donations at every Sunday service and on the second Sunday of each month, package the food “assembly-line-style” into handy sack lunches, which are then distributed at Oportunidad. To help out, bring food with you to the service, or stay after the service on the second Sunday of the month to help pack! Specifically we are looking for individual serving canned meats (e.g. vienna sausages, tuna), chips or other wrapped snacks, and canned fruit.
