At the recent meeting of Silsoe PCC, it was agreed to reintroduce the services rota. This is a list of helpers to assist in the smooth running of our services. The PCC are looking for help with any of the following:
Epistle Reading:
As the heading suggests this is someone to read the First bible reading.
Intercessions:
Not everybody’s cup of tea but we have, in the past, had a number of people prepare and lead the intercessions (Prayers) in the service.
Welcome:
We like to have people to welcome and hand out books and papers at the start of the service. This generally means arriving about 30 minutes before the service. At the end of the service, the helper collects the books and re-stacks them on the end pew. This activity is usually carried out by 2 people.
Coffee:
After the service we serve coffee. Before the service the helpers set up the table with mugs, coffee, tea and biscuits (these are in the cupboard). After the service, serve the coffee and then clear up. This is usually carried out by 2 people.
Starting January 9th 2022, our usual pattern of services will be:
First Sunday of the Month: 9.30am Holy Communion
Second Sunday of the Month: 11.00am Morning Worship/Family Service
Third Sunday of the Month 9.30am Holy Communion
Fourth Sunday of the month 9.30am Holy Communion
