Can you help? (call the

area. The main aim is to give some
enjoyment to the community but we also raise money for the preservation
fund. Help us make them even
better! Sidemen and Sacristans: ancient words for the
people who set up the church before the service, welcome the congregation and
tidy up at the end. And we have a
coffee rota and a collection counter rota for a gentle introduction to church
life. Flower Arranging: Impressed by the
Christmas Flowers? We are. Maintenance: Whether it’s climbing up on the roof to
re-fix the bell ropes, ambling round the churchyard with a mower or dealing
with architects we have a job for you! Cleaning: If you can push a vacuum cleaner or wield a duster
then you’re the one for our rota of cleaners. Church Council and Officers: The Church Council, Wardens, Secretary and Treasurer look after all the practical aspects of running the church and advise the clergy on the spiritual side. Council meetings are held monthly. All posts are elected or appointed annually. |
