They have so far been:
• The walk of witness at Easter – needs volunteers
• The sale of work – needs volunteers
• The nativity display and refreshments – needs volunteers
• The chaplaincy in the schools
• The chaplaincy in the QEUH
• The open doors of the church most days with a warm welcome
• The connection with the food banks – needs volunteers
• The joint services that build strong church families and grow skills – need attending
• The care and sheltered home visits – needs volunteers
• Yoga for the community
• Soup and prayer space for the community
• Kaleidoscope
• Burns night – needs volunteers
The building has needed a great deal attention in the last two and a half years as well. If we are to welcome in new people and encourage them to stay, we need a nice, safe home.
This is not just my job 😊. Volunteers are needed to help with the up keep.
Not the cleaning but the form filing, setting the heating timers, the safety checks, making appointments with electricians and being there when work is being carried out.
Decorating the church space for festivals. Keeping the church space appropriate for use always.
And how can you help St Oswald’ s to grow in number and in faithful service?
1. |
Prayer and volunteering |
2. |
If you can’ t volunteer pray for the volunteers and tell them you |
are praying. |
3. |
Talk positively to others about the exciting things that happen at |
the church. |
4. |
Don’ t let the burden of growth be carried by a few people. |
If we pray together we will be joyful, and it will encourage others to join us.
