Join our Sunday Coffee Team
Could you help with Sunday coffee after Mass? Some of our regular volunteers have stepped down, so we’re looking for a few more people to join the rota.
It only takes about 30 minutes: setting out mugs, serving tea and coffee, and washing up. Even helping once or twice a year would make a real difference. Please add your name to the list on the serving hatch. Thank you!
