Monday 14th to Saturday 19th September

As part of the preparations for the 150th Anniversary events in October, an extra special clean and polish of the church is being planned. The Parish Maintenance Committee is arranging for a specialist high level clean of the hard-to-reach areas of the church, carpet cleaning to some rooms, and repainting to some areas. As part of this work extra one-off help will be needed from volunteers to boost the normal Holy Duster Teams and to assist in facilitating the operations by helping to move chairs / furniture and generally ‘lending a hand’ where possible. More details of exactly what will be required will become clearer nearer the time but for the moment PLEASE can everyone consider if they would be willing and available to

assist, even for just an hour or two on one day only would be great and put their names down on the contact list of potential helpers (available in the Narthex) or let Fr. Naz know you would be willing to help. Many thanks from your Parish Maintenance Committee.
