Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
Isaiah 6:8

Our Volunteer Co-ordinator is Hilary Newman, to whom all offers of Time and Talents will be directed. Volunteer Form
We understand that your time may be limited, or that you may not wish to have a regular commitment. We aim to organise volunteering in a happy and sustainable way so that responsibilities are shared.
It is well known that volunteers say they feel happier, have reduced stress levels, and have been able to meet more people and have fun through the time they have been able to give to positive and constructive volunteering. Please do consider and pray about how you can help and serve your parish.
God of mercy,
unite your Church in the Holy Spirit
that we may serve you with all our hearts
and work together with unselfish love.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
