Interested in volunteering?

​

We are always keen to encourage people to volunteer to help in our parishes. Volunteering can be the most rewarding way to be involved in the life of the Church and make great friends in the process. The work of our parishes is made possible by the gifts of time and talents by the dedicated work of volunteers who help to run the activities each week, such as setting up for Sunday services, reading during our services, helping in our Sunday School, assisting with making tea/coffee, to name but a few of the opportunities to volunteer. If you would be interested in learning more, please get in touch, as we would love to hear from you.
