Notices
We would like to try out a sort of ‘mentoring’ system
for our young people. What we need are
willing adults volunteering to have a young person come and sit with them,
either when they come in from Rocks, or during the All Age Services. What is expected of you? Help your ‘charge’ engage in and follow the
service. We hope this will not only
enable all ages to get more out of the services, but also allow better
interaction between the ages in our congregation. If you are interested, please speak to
Sarah.
There is a tradition at St Peter’s, regarding
Christmas cards. Buy a sheet of card
(£1.00) and make your own card to everyone at St Peter’s. Then bring it along and hang it in church
with everyone else’s! Card available
from Sarah.
Be sure to taste
your words
before you spit
them out
