FULWOOD METHODIST CHURCH
SITUATIONS VACANT
1. Welcome Wednesdays (contact Pam Johnson)
Help is required
for preparing meals in the kitchen together with waiting on serving lunches,
washing and tidying up. A commitment every week is not required and offers of
help on a rota basis would be welcomed. The session runs from 10.00am
to 1.00pm, with lunches served
from noon. Help is also required on the ‘New to You’ stall.
2. Coffee rota on Sunday mornings (position vacant, interim contact Margaret Squire)
The rota works on a 7 week cycle. Some members of the team prepare and serve tea/coffee prior to the morning worship and some serve after morning worship. The teams will be responsible for tidying and washing up after worship and the role is a good way of getting to know people a little better.
3. Flower arranging rota (contact Muriel Crossley).
The
rota generally works on a 6 week cycle. One of the team arranges the flowers in
church in a pedestal, bowl or vase, whichever they prefer. The display is
normally done on a Friday or Saturday prior to the Sunday service. The arranger
will purchase the flowers (and be reimbursed from Church funds!) and on some
occasions be advised of the colours required and the amount to spend. If you
would like to have a try we will be willing to welcome you and give you plenty
of help.
4. Flower distribution rota (contact Sue Whiteford)
This rota generally works on an 8 week cycle. We need more deliverers! One of the team will be responsible after morning worship to split the flower display(s) into bunches, the number required and recipients being advised by the Pastoral Secretary. The bunches are then delivered to recipients. On special occasions appeals are made for additional helpers!
5. Church Cleaning (contact Sue Penrith)
This rota works on a 6 week cycle. Teams will be responsible for cleaning the worship area of the building – all equipment, cleaning solutions and guidance are provided. It takes roughly 1 hour and the time the cleaning is done is up to you and your team. Again a good way to get to know people better and ensure our buildings are spick and span!
6. Church Stewards (contact Margaret Squire)
Church stewards
form a vital party of the Church leadership team. The role involves working with
our minister and visiting preachers for morning and
evening services, representing the stewards at church meetings, Church Council
and also some Circuit Meetings, as well as playing an active part in all areas
of church life.
7. Communion Stewards (contact Pauline Kirkham or a Church Steward)
Communion stewards are responsible for preparing the elements prior to worship, ushering the congregation for communion during the service and clearing up after the service. There is normally one communion service per month in the morning and one in the evening. The teams work on a rota basis, usually four in a morning service and one in an evening. A good way to get involved and get to know people better.
8. Who let
the Dads Out? (contact Darren Arnold)
This event is on the third Saturday of the month and is led by Darren from 10.00am to noon. It is an opportunity for dads and their children to meet, chat and play. Help is required to prepare bacon butties and other savouries and drinks in the kitchen so Darren can be free to mix with Dads.
9. Christmas Fair co-ordinator (contact John Ferris)
This is a once a year event and we need an enthusiastic person to co-ordinate the various groups and activities so we have a well organised and successful fair.
10.
Hospital Help Desk (contact Ann Done)
This is an Ecumenical project and support is required at the Help Desk at Royal Preston Hospital. The monthly rota operates on a team basis and shifts are 2 or 4 hours on weekday evenings from 4.00pm to 6.00pm and 6.00pm to 8.00pm. Most sessions have one adult and one student volunteer. Training is provided on the job.
11. General catering (contact Margaret Squire)
As a church we have a very active social diary which often involves providing catering. We are looking for new members to join the team. Full training will be provided.
