St Peter’s Church Sitting Rota
To offer people in the parish a quiet space to pray.
? To welcome visitors to our church.
? To provide the opportunity for a short act of daily prayer and worship.
? To build up our own fellowship and community.
What does church sitting involve?
Each day from Monday to Saturday we need a team of 3 people to church sit from 11.30am-1.30pm.
Most people church sit the same day each week on a regular basis and we work to cover holidays or dates people cannot make it.
Whilst church sitting you can chat, welcome visitors, have a cuppa; you may prefer to sit quietly, read or pray or you might prefer to get on with some jobs within the church or church grounds. It is up to you!
What help do we need?
We are in real need of some extra volunteers. At the moment we are short of a regular person or persons to help on a Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.
Unfortunately some of our previously regular helpers are no longer able to help.
Please speak to Keith or Claire if you feel YOU are able to help.
What happens next?
We would ask people to reflect and pray about ‘church opening.’ Reflect on whether you are able to offer any help, pray that others feel they could contribute to this aspect of mission and service to the community and pray that we find a way to continue keeping St Peter’s open on a regular basis.
We will be having a short meeting after the 10am service on Sunday 2nd October.
At this point we will hopefully welcome new church sitters and make a decision on how we can best use the volunteers we have to keep the church open as many days a week as we can realistically manage.
**************************************
CHURCH OPENING TIMES
St Peter’s will be open over lunchtimes (11.30am to 1.30pm, Mondays to Saturdays), for anyone who would like to call in for prayer, quiet, a chat, a cup of tea/coffee or to have a look around the building.It will be ‘staffed’ by a team of 3 or 4 volunteers each day to make this possible. If you are interested in helping them, please contact the the churchwardens.
