Situations Vacant
At the recent Annual Meeting Rosemary Woodward-Court and Sue Ingram were elected as churchwardens. At the meeting I stressed the need for jobs that had over time been assumed in to the role of churchwarden, to be shared out amongst a wide spectrum of church members, so that we do not become over reliant on a few people. So far many people have come forward to volunteer for various tasks which is terrific and much appreciated.
However three really important jobs remain to be filled:
The first is the unlocking/locking of the church which can be shared amongst a rota of people.
The second is the production of the weekly pew sheet which takes about an hour each week and requires basic computer skills.
The third (not connected with the role of a churchwarden) is the need to find two people to take up the spaces on the Deanery Synod.
If you are interested in helping out in any of these ways please can you let James, Rosemary or Sue know.

the peoples of Japan and the other Pacific nations in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami
the Libyan people at this time of violence and unrest
