THE JOY OF BEING A WARDEN
One of the joys of being part of a church family is the opportunity to volunteer and serve in so many ways, contributing to the life of the church and supporting the wide range of activities that take place. The church simply couldn’t function without the time and skills that so many already contribute and we thank God for providing willing helpers to further our ministry. As part of this we ask each of you to prayerfully consider joining the team of wardens. Currently we are only firing on two cylinders and new wardens are urgently required. The role is enjoyable and a privilege and neither as daunting or time consuming as many perceive. Do give this serious consideration and ask Alan Storey or myself for further information if you want to understand the role better.
You may have noticed that the service team has changed over recent weeks as part of streamlining the time demands on the warden team. This has evolved from the previous team of a warden, a steward and one or two welcomers to either a warden or steward (now known as a service coordinator) supported by one or two welcomers. We are very grateful to all those stewards who have agreed to take on additional responsibilities and markedly reduce the demands on wardens to cover multiple services.
Please pray for all who give of their time and talents within the church and reflect on the following verse: As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace - 1 Peter 4:10
