Areas to serve in at Priory Street
As was highlighted at the start of the plant process, we are now in need of further people to step up and fill roles in the following areas here at Priory Street as there are several gaps in rotas. In light of the recent survey, please would you prayerfully consider in what areas of church life you might be able to serve. Please contact Louise or the Ministry Leader to indicate your willingness to serve in any of these ministries.
- Junior Church / Youth
- Sound/PA (see specific notice)
- Projection
- Teas/coffees
- Worship
- Door greeting
- Catering
- Pastoral (see specific notice)
Specific pastoral help needed
Sara Taylor has worked hard co-ordinating meals for new families but she is no longer able to continue with this responsibility and so we are now looking for someone to take over. It would also be good to update our list of those willing to cook meals for new families. If you can help, please contact Joan or Louise.
PA/Sound
As Matt is going to the Rudloe congregation and a few people have recently come off the rota, we have an urgent need for more people to help out on the PA / sound desk rota. If anyone is interested in serving in this ministry, please contact Matt Grylls.
