Getting involved at All Saints

Can you help?

Keeping the church running well relies on the whole church family. A lot of the hard work is done by people giving their time as part of their Christian discipleship.

Volunteering helps you to feel part of the church and helps you to get to know others better, as well as being of valuable service. How could you get involved? There are many ways………

Flowers

We have a rota of volunteers who arrange the flowers in church each week. The flowers are funded by flowerssponsors who select a date. We can never have too many helpers. Some of us lacked flower arranging skills when we started but picked them up as we went along. We join together to decorate the church for Christmas, Harvest, and Easter so it is a nice way to make friends and feel part of the church community. For more details please contact

Jane Wilson            0151 353 8710

Bible readers and prayer leaders

 

Some members of the congregation read the lessons in church and some lead some of the prayers. BibleTo join one (or both) of these teams simply volunteer to be on the appropriate rota. Training is available.

For more information please speak to the vicar or one of the churchwardens.

Sunday services Welcome team

 

One of the most important roles in the church is being a member of our welcome team. The sidespeople are there to greet people as they come into the church and make them feel at ease. They help with the smooth running of the services; their role also includes setting out the communion table and taking up the collection. If you think you could help and would like more information please speak to one of the churchwardens: Pam Machin 0151 xxx xxxx  or Patsy Baker 0151 336 3273

Choir

The choir leads the singing at the 10.30am and 6.30pm services. They also sing for special occasions such as weddings and the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols at Christmas. New members are always welcome. The ability to read music is useful but not essential.

Please contact the organist, Iain Stinson for more information. 0151 342 4800

Fabric Team and Churchyard Groundforce

The Fabric Team members look after the buildings and the grounds. Do you have practical skills and knowledge which would be an asset to them?

Keeping the churchyard and the graveyard neat and tidy is a demanding job. Periodically it is necessary to have a working party to tackle areas that are not being covered by routine maintenance. For more information please contact the Chairman of the Fabric Team.
