CHURCH ROSTERS. As will be appreciated, we heavily rely on volunteers to provide the variety of services and ongoing functions at the Church. As we are now in into the winter period, individuals are more susceptible to colds etc., and of course we still have COVID present in the community. This can result in individuals not always able to meet roster requirements and therefore result in last minute revisions to the impacted rosters. Recently the requirements to perform the duties for some rosters have been simplified in order to make tasks safer and easier to perform.
Rosters that currently operate within the Church are:
• Service Leader
• Communion Leader
• Bible Reader
• Singer
• Music (Piano or organ playing)
• Door Greeting
• Car Park duties
• Collection
We are also looking for people to train for our sound and digital media systems.
If you would like to participate in any of the above rosters, please contact one of the Diaconate members. (Ron, Adrian, Jeanette, Glennis or David). Thank you for your consideration.
Coming soon. Watch this space
