Urgent call for Volunteers

We are very short on people willing to volunteer for roles that enhance our worship together. We urgently need new Welcomers, Readers, Computer Operators, and Morning tea servers.

I give thanks for those currently filling these roles and carrying the load. They are a select few. The jobs aren’t onerous, and if enough new volunteers come forward, it may become a roster where people are on once every two months.

I ask you to please pray and consider whether you can assist in this ministry.

If you can help, please contact Margaret Peterson or myself.

Thanks, Prayers, and Blessings

Sunday Roster - There are vacancies in the following duties that are always in need of being filled. Sunday Services, both 7.30am and 9.30am. AV Operators, Welcomers, Sidepersons and Intercessors are needed. Interested persons are asked to contact Margaret Peterson on 07 5497 6978

Name Badges - If you would like a new name badge, there is a list in the narthex. Please print your name clearly on the list. The cost is $12 per badge, which can be paid when you receive your badge using the "return" envelope and placing your payment in the gifting box in the narthex. Badges will be ordered at the beginning of each month when needed

Donations - There is a box of envelopes in the narthex (with a pen) for use by anyone wishing to give money in the giving box for specific reasons e.g. Retiring Collections, payment for attending functions, purchase of items such as calendars, etc. Please, please, write on the envelope what the money is for, your name and the amount. This will greatly assist the counters to distribute the funds to the correct account.
