About ten years ago Trinity Church got a new mission statement: “Serving God, Serving Each Other, Serving Community”
The 3 notice boards at the back of the Welcome Area were given those same three titles.
Trinity Learning, which does work supporting schools, has taken over the middle board, and so now there is: Serving God, Children, and Serving Community.
In December 2015 posters on the ‘Serving Community’ board include:
* Health and Safety at work Act
* Scouts & Guides Christmas Post. (Last collection yesterday.)
* New Years Walk for Christmas Aid on January 1st.
* Volunteers required for Leonard Cheshire Disability Volunteers.
* Every year there is the opportunity to write cards to Prisoners of Conscience with details provided by Amnesty International.
* Friends of Abingdon are looking for a new Manager / Curator.
* Oxford Community Soup Kitchen need people to help Mrs Smith
* John Radcliffe League of Friends need helpers
* St Michael’s Church have a group in the new year studying the Psalms. (That one could be moved to the ‘Serving God’ noticeboard.)
This is a great idea Backstreeter. People would like to help but sometimes are not sure who needs volunteers.
But where is the fuel poverty poster?
30th Abingdon Scout Group, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts were out delivery the Scout Christmas Post in South Abingdon tonight. The Beavers delivered over 200 cards in just over an hour. If you are looking to Volunteer the local Scouts would welcome your help.
The guides were also out covering north abingdon – great work from the town’s youngsters
Great work and a much appreciated service. Why was the last collection so early this year? I was assuming it would be later this week and very nearly missed it.
The last scout and guide meetings are generally this week i think Angela, which is generally when they sort out most of the deliveries.
