Have you considered becoming
a Steward?
 | "We have 12 new stewards since
the summer, which has helped us over the unavoidable loss of several stewards due to ill
health, or moving away from the district. We still need more.
|
| Any new people are given an
introduction to the church and the duties involved before they make up their minds, and
then are always accompanied for the first one or two times until they feel happy to carry
on on their own.
|
| They can do as much or as little as
they like; once a week, once a month, twice a month, school holidays, with a permanent
slot, or, if preferred, filling in where needed.There is plenty of information to read,
and no-one expects them to know everything.
|
| After all, I've been a steward for
14 years; some knowledge was bound to rub off in that time!"
Valerie Powick, November 2002

| It may surprise you to know that
the Church ideally needs about 125 stewards in all and, because existing stewards
sometimes have to leave us, we need replacements and can therefore offer you the
opportunity to help out. |
Stewards welcome visitors from
this country and abroad, tell them about the Church, answer their questions, and help
with the sale of Church booklets etc.
The Committee is very grateful for the time and commitment given by all stewards.
|
We particularly need further
volunteer stewards to offer 4 hours of their time, once or twice a month if they are able.
During the summer months this might be from 10 am until 2pm, or from 2pm until 6 pm, while
in the winter, from 10.30 am until 1.30 pm, or from 1.30 pm until 4 pm. Many stewards work together in pairs. |
|
|
|
| There is no doubt
that without the help of stewards, who encourage visitors' interest, financial maintenance
of the church would be impossible |
More regular
stewards are urgently needed so that a satisfactory rota can be operated, enabling the
church to be manned during all hours of opening. |
You do not have to live locally to be considered -
some existing stewards live in Malvern, Solihull and Bromsgrove. |
For further information on Stewarding, please telephone 01905 620488, write to the Church, or e-mail us.
Thank you.
