CAN YOU HELP?
Our
church care team are in need of some more helpers to keep the church looking
lovely.
If
you have some time to spare on a Thursday morning and are handy with a duster
or a hoover then the group start their work at approx. 10am. Just come along.
There
are also some more skilled roles we would appreciate support with especially
during busy feasts and volunteer breaks and holidays such as flower arranging,
laundering, ironing the various cloths and albs etc. also ordering candles and
polishing the brass.
There
is a lot to be done so you will never be bored.
Is the Lord calling you to give your
time and talent to any of these roles?

We should not build towers without
foundations, for the Lord looks not so much on the magnitude of the work but
rather on the love with which it was done.
St
Teresa of Avila, Doctor of the Church
