Nocton Church Cleaners Needed!

Normally our church is used regularly for our services, by the school & for a whole range of events from book fairs to concerts & Christmas tree festivals to name but a few. Many  of our church cleaners occasionally attend church or maybe not at all but the unanimous response is always how much they value & appreciate the peace & serenity of being in church quietly at that time. The church does rely on this support as many church members come into the vulnerable category and are unable to volunteer for this.

We run a rota system whereby two people are responsible for one month in the year.
It is not a big commitment & generally only takes a few hours in the month. It is always possible to arrange swops if something crops up for you or you change your plans.
So whether you have never stepped foot in church or have attended a few events, please would you consider offering your help for this.
If you feel you could help out please email ruth@jimeagle.plus.com & I will be pleased to give you more detail as to what is involved.
