CASH HANDLING Earlier this year we asked for volunteers to help with counting the cash from collections and the various donation boxes on a Sunday morning after Mass. We plan to start this NEXT SUNDAY when David Fletcher will show volunteers what to do. Hopefully we can arrange a rota so it is just one Sunday a month for the volunteers. Please have a word with David or Fr Dexter if you would like to join this team. Once you have learned the task it shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes to complete.
