MINISTRY ROTAS
Ministry Rotas had been suspended during these unusual times of Lockdown and the lifting of the Lockdown and return to church. Involvement and physical movement in church has been kept to a minimum. Much care has been exercised in keeping people safe and in keeping with Covid restrctions. However as we move through these transitional times there is development in terms of including more people in services and in assisting and welcoming people as they enter church. Social distancing and mask wearing/visor wearing continue as does the need for signing in to the church building.
MINISTRY ROTAS HAVE RE-STARTED
We haven't resumed refreshments at the end of services yet.
The Ministry Rotas are drawn up each month from members of the congregation, who volunteer to serve in a variety of ways: The rotas are set out in the Parish Magazine each month.
Sidesmen - welcoming friends and visitors as they come for worship, offering hymn books and service sheets. Sidesmen also present the collection plate at the altar during the service.
Prayers - offering intercessions or special prayers at some services.
Bread and Wine - presenting the bread and wine at the altar during services of Holy Communion.
Coffee - making and serving coffee in church after the main morning service.
Flowers - providing and arranging flowers in church for Sunday services, usually to remain there for visitors to enjoy during the week.
Church cleaning - small teams of volunteers to clean the church in preparation for Sunday services, teams usually volunteering for a month at a time.
Bell ringing - ringing the church bells before the 10.00 am service on Sundays. An unwritten rota ensures that from a team of 12 bell ringers, at least 6 are present in the bell-tower each Sunday.
