DUMC partners with Wellspring Living to support victims of human trafficking by providing transformative care to those affected. We periodically collect donated toiletry items for victims in a bin next to the Nursery entrance. In addition to collecting items, DUMC has a Human Trafficking Committee that is actively involved in dialogue and actions to address this growing issue.

Each June and July, DUMC volunteers gather to assemble lunch kits for Hope Atlanta. We prepare “SuperPacks” that provide a week of meals for children who typically receive a free or reduced-price lunch at school, but may not have access to lunch over the summer. This family friendly meal packing event provides needed support in our community.

Physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses and physician assistants are needed to be “on call” during Sunday worship services. The time required is simply your commitment to be present at your preferred service on a Sunday you choose. Medical volunteers should be CPR trained and have acute care experience. Our ushers are CPR trained, and the church is equipped with automatic defibrillators. Contact Dr. Ruth Brown or Megan Cann, RN.

Ensure the chancel is properly adorned with correct paraments and prepare banners for each service. Straighten up and supply pew racks during the week.

Volunteers are needed in the Chapel to assist with setting the table every Sunday for communion, offering prayers, as well as laundering the linens used weekly.

Dunwoody UMC has a congregation filled with unique individuals with fascinating backgrounds and accomplishments. If you have an hour or so to spare each month to meet some of our members who may not be able to get to church anymore, you will bring joy and friendship to those you visit, and you will be blessed to meet them and to get to know them. Our Visitation Ministry is currently looking for friendly visitors who are willing to visit their assigned person(s) at least once per month and to stay in touch with them by phone call or cards. We will provide all the training you need. If you are interested or have any questions, please reach out to Rev. Kathy Brockman.

Separate the altar flowers after each service, placing them into new vases and distributing them on Mondays to families who have experienced a death in the family or illness.

Hospital visitors volunteer to visit people who are unable to attend church because of hospitalization.

Homebound visitors volunteer to visit people who are unable to attend church due to a condition that keeps them at home. Volunteers serve on an ongoing basis, and are assigned one or two members to visit.

These volunteers provide meals to families that have experienced a death in the family or are recuperating from a hospitalization or extended illness and are not affiliated with a DUMC small group or Sunday School class.

The Prayer Ministry of Dunwoody UMC supports our members, visitors and the community with uplifting prayers. These volunteers use intercessory prayer, meaning they pray for others including our ministries, pastors, members in need, those on mission trips, people in need around the world and those who have specifically asked for prayer.

Send greetings of cheer to the ill, sympathy to those who grieve, congratulations for celebrations and births and encouragement for those in need of encouragement.
