Requests for help

Summer events needing volunteer support
We need volunteers to help with:
Family Fun Day in Church (29th August)
Dorset County Show (5th and 6th September)

Please see the July and August News sheet for more details - and then let Peter Jenner know if you can help with any of these.

Ideas for Teatime or after school provision
Please see the July and August News sheet to see how we are working up ideas to provide something for families to come to after school - an idea that the late Mary Martin was very keen on. If you've got skills to share as part of this, please talk to Peter Jenner.

Ride and Stride
This year's event is being held on Saturday, 12th September. As in years past years, the church will be open and staffed between 10 am and 6pm, so if you could spare an hour or two on the day to welcome Riders and Striders to UCD, I would be pleased to hear from you. 

Once numbers of helpers are ascertained, I will then be in contact with you again and compile a rota. It is hoped that a sufficient number of people will come forward to operate a shift system as past years, but whatever you can manage would be appreciated. Thank you - Shawn Board.

Vision magazine advertising volunteer
Since Marion Cox's retirement, we are looking for another volunteer to look after our advertisers. The role involves sending out an annual invoice and
checking these have been paid, distributing each new magazine and encouraging new advertisers. Please see Wendy Hilton if you can help.

Coffee Lounge 
Help is needed a with serving coffees and welcoming visitors to the Coffee Lounge on a Friday morning. It is a pleasant way to spend the morning and a wonderful way to meet other members and visitors to Dorchester. Help is needed from 9 am to 12.30, it is truly not arduous - please see Elizabeth Haynes for more information.
