Volunteers Needed Please! After a very successful Art and Craft Day, community event, last year with 130 attendees, we are planning another on the 8th of April. We especially need volunteers to help make the event a successful one and lots of people (including children) to attend. Please consider volunteering if you are able to, we do need lots of help! HELPERS ON THE DAY! Please let Jenny, Cathy or Sally know if you can help with any of the following: welcoming, setting up, clearing away, helping with activities or coffees/lunch.
You don't need you to volunteer for the whole time - just an hour will be great. We are particularly looking for someone with 'Latch hook' experience to supervise a wall hanging activity. We also need the following for the day so please give items to one of the team in advance: Old tights (washed and not opaque). Old magazines. Scraps of wrapping paper. Thank you!
Please join the team preparing our Local Arrangement service on 26th April. Ideas suggested so far included a dramatic bible reading and favourite hymns plus prayers. If you would like to know more speak with one of the Stewards.
