Junior Church are looking to update their Helper's List: A Helper is needed if there is only one Leader with a group. You will not be expected to prepare anything or do any specific teaching, but you are needed as another adult. You will usually be given plenty of notice if you are required but there may be the odd emergency when we have to ask you on the day. If you are able to Help please tell either Pauline, Chris or Don Astley.
