Are you available to help for just one or two hours per month? This involves being at church and available to help show visitors around and tell them a little about St Paul’s and answer any questions they might have. To get underway, we are planning to get started on Thursdays and Fridays from 12 to 3 pm. Christine at the office has the task of making up a roster. Please let her know if you can help and what time best suits you. Ph. 835-5359. Thanks to those who have already agreed to help.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE we need more volunteers to man the shop. We are having trouble filling roster places when people are ill or having holidays. Some of our helpers are working 3 or 4 times a month and that is not fair. If you could work 1 or 2 (3 hours shifts a month), that would be great. We also need some people who could be called on in an emergency – ie. Fill in for an unexpected illness or other reason. PLEASE contact either Phyllis – 843 0991 or Anne – 844 8381. Plastic shopping bags are needed and thank you for your donations of goods to sell.

Thank you!!
