Volunteers needed, please :-
- To join the Sanctuary Guild. Members work in teams on a rota basis to maintain the beauty of the Sanctuary and look after the brass, altar silver and linen. If you feel able to join them please contact Valerie Batchelor 01751 475295. Thank you. NB Men welcome too!
- To become Servers. It was some years ago now I saw a request for volunteers on 'pews news' for servers. At the time I was new to church and thought servers were sidespersons - so it was really an accident that led me into serving at the altar at St Peter & St Pauls and proof if we needed it of God's awesome sense of humour! So having realised my error I decided to go with the 'plan' and I can say that I am so pleased that I did. For some years I assisted at the 8am service on a Sunday and latterly I have been helping at the 10am service. If you think that serving could be your thing - remembering that it's not sidesperson... that's different! - then please contact our Head Server - Jane Sampson at - jane4eagles@aol.com Remember all training will be provided and any time which you can give would be very greatly appreciated. Dave Barf
- To open and lock up the building on a rota basis, please? The unlocking would be at 9am and the locking up at 5pm to 5.30pm in summer and 4pm in winter. If it is something you could do, please contact Pam Robb.
