Mission Action Plan
We need to update our Mission Action Plan in the light of the Mission Community Mission Action Plan
In particular:
- Are we able to find 4 volunteers to take a turn as "Warden at the Back" on a Sunday morning, to support with setting up the church, and also giving out hymn books and service sheets? Then everyone has a duty once a month.
- Are we able to find 1 volunteer to act as sacristan on a Sunday morning when we have Holy Communion? i.e. 2nd and 4th Sundays
Correspondence
