Ride & Stride Saturday 9th September
This annual event will be held again this year on Saturday 9th September. Both St Helens and Seaview churches have large building projects in progress and will be applying for grants to the Historic Churches Trust which this event supports. In addition the church gets to keep 50% of any money raised. Sally Rivlin is the organiser for St Helen's and Sylvia Beardsmore for St Peter's and they will be able to give you more information.
However we will need : Volunteers to help with refreshments at both churches and volunteers to run, ride, stride or drive round the various churches in the deanery.
HOW MANY CHURCHES COULD YOU VISIT IN THE DAY
See Sally or Sylvia for sponsorship forms. It really can be a fun day.

Church Opening
Now that September is here we will need to get into a routine of opening and closing St Peter's Church. Hours of opening are 9.00am - 5.00pm [4.00pm in the winter months]. There is a list in the church porch and you can sign up for a week at a time.

St Peter's Porch Cleaning
We are looking for someone to take on responsibility for cleaning the porch at St Peter's. In the windy season this may be necessary more than once a week and the windows etc need to be kept cobweb free. If it is something you think you could do, please contact Sylvia.

Church Cleaners
A big thank you to all who have helped to keep St Peter's church clean during the recent building work. The high levels of dust have made this difficult but your extra hard work has been really appreciated.

Bible Study/House Group
The next meeting of the group is on Monday 11th September at 10.30am at Sylvia's, when we will look at the Lectionary readings for the Sunday coming and what they say to us in 21st century Seaview. All are welcome on a regular or occasional basis.

Care Home Friends
There is a great need for volunteers to visit residents of care homes in the area. Each of our churches is going to "adopt" a care home and train volunteers to visit a specific person on a regular basis. An initial training session will take place on Friday afternoon, 15th September in St Peter's hall for anyone who would like to find out more. Interested? Please contact Caroline or take a look at the web site www.embracingage.org.uk.

IOW Street Pastors
Now recruiting for volunteers. To find out more about this important ministry in local schools and towns, please take a look at the website www.iowstreetpaastors.org.uk or speak to one of our school/street/prayer pastors. There is a particular need for prayer pastors to support our teams, in schools at lunchtime, once a week, or once a month at the church base from which our teams go out late at night. Great if you are awake in the wee small hours!!!!!!!!!
