Communion Steward: We are looking for a Communion Steward to join our small team to prepare the elements for communion, assist in directing the congregation on a Sunday morning and clearing up after the service. Communion services are usually the first Sunday in the month with very occasional additional special services. If anyone feels that this is something they could do, please have a word with either Sheila Nelson or myself and we can explain what is involved in more detail. Thanks, Ann Massey and Sheila Nelson Communion Stewards.
