🌟 Get Involved at St. Mary’s
St. Mary’s isn’t just a place — it’s a people. Our church is blessed with beautiful buildings and even more beautiful community spirit. While professionals handle our larger maintenance tasks, the heartbeat of our church runs on the care and energy of volunteers like you.
Whether you're new to Leigh or have been part of St. Mary’s for years, we’d love to help you find a way to get involved — in a way that suits your time, talents, and interests.
🧽 Church Cleaning Team
Join the rota or St. James’ Guild to help keep our church swept and dusted each week.
- Teams of 1–3 volunteers rotate duties
- More volunteers = less frequent commitment (perhaps once every other month)
It’s practical, appreciated, and a great way to meet others.
✨ Help With Services
Our Forest Family Church, Worship and Traditional Services are inclusive and welcoming. You might enjoy:
- Greeting visitors
- Reading lessons
- Leading prayers
- Craft activities
No experience needed — just a willingness to participate.
🖥️ Use Your Skills Creatively
If you're tech-savvy or enjoy storytelling, consider:
- Social media and marketing
- Website support
- Event planning or fundraising
We’d love your help in expanding our reach and strengthening our community ties.
