Gentlemen, (all age groups) More help is needed to stack and move the chairs to the storeroom after the morning service. If you could help with this task on a regular basis it would be greatly appreciated by all concerned. Many hands make light work !! ( Chairs to be stacked 8 x high) We continue to be ever mindful of health & safety issues when the chairs are being stacked for storage ± it would greatly assist the chair teams if members of the congregation could move to the seating at the front of the Church to enjoy their cup of tea/coffee. We would also ask parents to supervise small children after the service to en-­
sure their complete safety at all times. Many Thanks 20 October
