The Gateway team are looking for more helpers on a Monday & Wednesday morning. Making tea, coffee, washing up etc. welcoming and talking to the visitors. You do not have to commit to every week as there is a rota. Any one that is interested could talk to Carole J, Carol W, Mary, Margaret or Chris W for more details. If you are interested please contact Carole Jenkins: cdjenkins2004@yooho.co.uk
We are in search of a new leader for the Communion Stewards please. Michelle stepped down a couple of months ago and the current stewards are keeping things
going but they are still looking for someone to lead this, eg ensure stewards are available for Communion services, creating a steward rota, purchase bread and wine as needed, wash the table cloths etc. If you think you would be able to help with this
role please speak to Rev Rohama or Anne Ling.
