Your Church needs YOU!
Over the past 12 months we have lost a number of active volunteers. Either due to health reasons or because they have passed on and are now with our Lord. This means that we are having to look at how we do things. A recent big change is that John Grayson has handed the Church diary over to James Porter. This means we need to develop a list of keyholders who would be willing to unlock or lock up after a hiring of the church premises, this could be during the week or at weekends – is this something you could help out with? We also need a couple of people who are willing to learn how to use the sound desk, laptop and projector – it’s not difficult? If you think you could help out please speak to Andrew or Philip.
Prayer Circle
As part of the Pastoral Work in our church, we have a group of people who regularly pray in their private prayer time for our church and other concerns. If you have anything or anyone you would like us to pray for or if you would like us to pray for you on Sunday mornings, please email your prayer request to: standishmethodistchurch@gmail.com If you feel the need to If you feel the need to speak to someone confidentially or would like a Pastoral Visitor, please contact Rev’d Richard Towle – 01942 206806
