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.
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!!!!!!!!!
