Volunteers needed to join St. Peter’s Children’s Liturgy team. The Children’s liturgy celebrates the gospel reading from a resource that allows the children to understand the reading at a younger level; then a very short discussion about it; and an activity (usually colouring in). New volunteers needed to join the team. No previous experience working with children required; the role is open to anyone over the age of 18, male or female. The only requirement is that all new leaders must join the PVG Scheme and attend a safeguarding training session (PVG and training session will be organised by our Parish Safeguarding co-ordinator). After that you’ll receive induction and support from the team. We’d love to welcome new volunteers to our team. Please contact Aoife Palmer aoife_drew@yahoo.co.uk or 07816 876 74
