Volunteer Opportunities
We have a few opportunities for volunteers to help us reach out over the next few years.
If you have a deep care for others maybe you could see Anne Shearer and help with our Pastoral Care Team.
If you see a need to help our finances but do it with a slant to helping develop friendships then maybe you could join Christine Ford with the Fundraising Group.
Or if you are interested in a one-off outreach to children maybe you could see Catherine Law as she hosts a tent for Children’s Crafts at the Alva Games.
If you contact the minister he can pass your name on to the relevant leader.
