St Julian's

There are always jobs that need doing in our churches. If you want to help, if you have spare time, if you want to get out more and meet friendly people while doing something worthwhile, please consider whether you could get involved.

The list will be updated from time to time: keep looking!

1. The Tuesday Lunch Club at St Stephens restarted last September, but really needs two more volunteer cooks. We would be delighted to have a chat with anybody who might be able to help with this. Please contact the parish office on 01727 862598 to be put in touch with Harriet who coordinates this very important part of our outreach for the more mature people in our community.

2. The coffee meetings after the Sunday Parish Communion service at St Stephens have re-started. If you are interested in joining the rota of coffee servers (or want to be removed), please contact the Parish Office ( office@ststephenandstjulian.org or 01727 862598).

3. The St Stephen's Flower Guild would appreciate some more help. The Guild is a small group of ladies who keep the church decorated with flowers throughout the year - normally every week and at major festivals. We also arrange the flowers for weddings – pedestals and the arch above the door. We need more people to join us. Do you have a liking for flowers and a desire to climb a ladder to arrange the arch? If you do, please contact Angela Hanley tel: 01727 875257

4. Hiring out our halls brings in money we need to keep the parish running. We need someone - or a team - to help manage the various aspects of hall lettings at either or both of our churches. Interested? In the first instance, please contact the Parish Office ( office@ststephenandstjulian.org or 01727 862598).

5. We are hoping to restart some delivery by hand of the Parish Magazine. We need a few more volunteers for this. It is not an onerous task. Each volunteer would have a small number of magazines to deliver depending on their proximity to the subscribers. Please contact Alison (tel: 01727 848987 or email: office@ststephenandstjulian.org ) if you feel able to help.

Also, if you were already a delivery volunteer, Alison would be grateful if you confirm that you wish to continue. This will help with the address allocation.

6. We are aiming to reintroduce the cleaning rota at St Stephens after it being in a long period of abeyance. If you feel able to give a couple of hours to vacuum and dust the church, please let Angela Hanley (tel: 01727 875257), Becky or Alison Pether ( office@ststephenandstjulian.org ) know. Also, please can you let us know if you were previously on the rota and wish to continue or come off it.
