  1. Name tag treasure hunt: help people find their migrating nametags and/or create new ones.

  2. Professional door-holding: test your hairdo and outfit in the Texas humidity. Enjoy the beautiful front gardens and listen to the peaceful, flowing fountain. Then experience the call to service bell-ringing up close and personal!

  3. First dibs on the good parking: you have to arrive a little early, which means you get the prime spots!

  4. The ultimate introvert hack: being a HoMe Team member means you approach them, completely reversing the social panic of wondering who is going to talk to you first.

  5. The fine craft of coffee: learn how to expertly make a church-ful of coffee! Maybe twice, if needed.

  6. Crack a corny joke: at Live Oak, humor is a core value, so brushing up on your silly weather quips to tell to visitors is a must!

  7. Counting: we have lots of people and things that need to be counted on Sundays.

  8. Sorting and organizing: a sanctuary seat back pocket is wonderfully mysterious - does it have no pen, three pens, original artwork, or some other interesting treasure?

  9. Tidying: after coffee hour, help clean up in our spotless and highly organized church kitchen - it is a marvel to be seen!

  10. Try before you buy: come shadow me or another HoMe Team member to see what it’s all about - we’d love to have you!
