For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do

Coffee Team
Sharing fellowship over coffee is an important part of our Sunday gatherings. If you could be part of this ministry which so helps to build up the body of Christ then do get in touch.
9am Team leaders Keith and Sheila Pittman
11am Team leader Phil Nightingale
Seniors Lunch Coordinator
(not cooking!)
This is a key role in a developing ministry to our senior members and their guests. Rowena Sims has kindly taken on the catering side of things, but we need someone to lead the team involved in the setting up and clearing up and some administration too.
Contact Sue Brooks for further details of the role caring@stmaryschesham.org
Drivers*
Our Driving Team provides transport to and from our services for those who would be otherwise unable to make the journey due to age or medical condition. Provision is made weekly for the 9am and 11am services, and we would love some more drivers to join the team to serve our older members in this way.

We are always looking for more children's group leaders and helpers, so that we can increase the number of groups on a Sunday morning. We’d love everyone to play their part in telling the next generation. There are all sorts of roles big and small and it’s a fun team to be part of!
Please contact John Spence

Kids Team*
Choir
On Friday evenings the choir meets at church to sing and socialise, praising the Lord and enjoying each other’s company. We prepare for the 9am service and also Choral Evensong, our amazing Lessons and Carols at Christmas and other special services throughout the year. We’d love to have new members – not necessarily to sing every Sunday. Reading music is helpful but not essential - in fact a sense of humour and a willingness to have a go is most important!

Cleaning Team
Cleanliness is next to godliness! Maybe not, but it’s an important part of being a welcoming church. The cleaning team works on a rota of approx. 4/6 weeks with 3 or 4 volunteers serving together. We’d love to hear from you with whatever you could offer.
