Roseacre School - new Kingsquad

We have teamed up with The Family Trust to start a Kingsquad school club at Roseacre in the new year and now we need some volunteers to run it. Depending on the number of children we need around six volunteers to run the club on a rota basis - could you be part of the team? No previous experience required and training will be provided. Please consider joining this outreach project which, particularly during interregnum, maintains that vital link with youngsters. More information here or contact Sandra Knatchbull or Andy Haines to sign up!

Sidespeople needed

Over Christmas we have lots of extra services which we hope lots of visitors will attend. It is therefore really important that we have people to act as sidespeople at services so that the members of the congregation are made to feel welcome, guided to their seat, given the right bits of paper etc.  Thanks to all those who have volunteered to help so far but we still need a couple more volunteers on Christmas Eve to help cover the second crib service at 3.30pm and/or the Lessons and Carols at 6pm. If you think you can help, please contact Helen Judges.
