School and Street Pastors
Training is starting shortly and you are invites to go and observe them in action.
Might this be God's mission for you? School Pastors spend 2 hours weekly at lunchtime in schools currently Medina College and Carisbrooke College.
BUT other schools are desperate for voluntary pastoral care.
Street Pastors spend 4/5 hours on the streets of Ryde or Newport monthly, on a Friday or Saturday night, with a break [or two].
We also need Prayer Pastors to pray from base. For more information contact Caroline or Vanessa.
