Weyfinders news for Autumn/Winter 2021 and 1922
We are
delighted to tell you we have planned a new programme for the rest
of this year and into next as well. We have also been greatly
encouraged by the number of walkers and the new faces we have seen.
Our thanks to those who have organised these interesting and very
pleasant walks for the fit and able of us, and the shorter distance
strolls to include the not so able. Great exercise for us all. Thanks
also to those who have given us an end of the journey treat -
cups of tea, delicious cakes, scones etc.
The new
programmes will be ready shortly, listing both the Weyfinder
gatherings and the Weyfinder Walks.
Everyone is welcome, we so
look forward to seeing you; we have something for all.
We have been blessed
during the pandemic by the care and help that many of us have
received in various and special ways; thank you to all involved
in serving the Lord in this way. June Stephens
Church Cleaner Wanted
WBC is looking for a church cleaner.
This is a paid position, 8.5 hours a week to suit applicant. Contact Neil for details.
We've had a request to help a young man from Testwood BC, Southampton:
“Benji is 18 and has been employed on an apprenticeship degree with BAE systems based in Weymouth. He is looking for short-term lodgings initially just Monday to Friday. We were wondering if you might know of anyone who takes in lodgers or are looking for temporary house mates. Benji is the son of some of our closest friends and is a very mature and personable young man and we would happily recommend him to anyone you knew of."
[They add that Benji is an organised sort of chap but his arrangements have unexpectedly fallen through, hence the urgency].
If you can assist Benji, the contact address is Paul Lailey.
CAP Life Skills
See the CAP page for news on this free course starting 23rd September.
- To staff up the AV Team as we go back into the church building for worship. Whether you‘re a hotshot with sound desk mixing or can drive a basic PC your support on a rota to provide sound and vision on a Sunday morning would be gratefully appreciated. Please contact Murray if you might be able to help. Thank you.
- WBC Crèche We are in real need of helpers whose job role will be to help watch and interact with the children in our care, with the help of the session leader. This will include a wipe down of all toys that are out before, during and after, and also to help pack away them away. Due to children moving up to new groups, and their parent helpers also moving on, we have a real shortage. If we were to lose any more we really would not be able to provide this service for our wonderful children and families.
If we were able to add just 2 more helpers we would be able to have each person only on once a month. If you feel that this is something you can do then please don't hesitate to get in touch with myself.
P.S. We are not operating the crèche until at least the 3rd Sunday that we are back in the building.
Thank you so much, God bless,
Leighanne Hart
Crèche leader at Weymouth Baptist Church
