The following paragraphs detail areas which require some types of help,

Please get in touch if any of these interest you.

Could you be our new Churches Together in Sale representative? Meetings take place once a quarter and are held midweek in the evenings. This volunteer role would suit someone with good IT and communication skills, who enjoys working with others and has a desire to get involved with where God is at work in the local area alongside those worshiping in local churches. You will need to prepare a short report for the Parochial Church Council so you can feedback from Churches Together meeting any actions that need taking.

Would you consider being an OWL?

The OWLs course is for those who find themselves leading worship on an occasional basis, (no more than once a month) and do not feel called to licensed or ordained ministry. 

People who have trained as OWLs so far include those planning and leading worship in specific regular services (for example, monthly café church, Taize, Iona, All-Age), those who occasionally lead Morning or Evening Prayer on Sundays, or Churchwardens and others leading services during a vacancy.

A 4-week course in Leading Public Worship is part of the process of becoming a locally authorised Occasional Worship Leader. The course works for people who have been leading worship for years as well as people who are starting out. OWLs are discerned and authorised locally in the parish-so please contact Becky or any member of the clergy in the first instance if you’re interested or would like to know more.

Help Needed!

Our Christmas Tree festival is nearly upon us and we really need to identify folks who can help in various ways:

This might be helping to clean the church beforehand and help set up trees and move furniture

We need folks to help with publicity- distributing posters, flyers and encouraging friends/family/local business to come along!

During the festival itself we need volunteers to help with stewarding, refreshments, assisting with crafts, selling raffle tickets and being prepared to chat with our visitors.

After the festival we need help with cleaning, tidying up, moving furniture and hoovering. 

If you can offer any help please do contact Lisa Clarke/Revd Becky (stewards/welcome) (or Eileen Craven & Joyce Green (refreshments) and Vicki Moore (Santa’s Grotto).

Many thanks,

Becky
