Managing

Managing the service is an important role on a Sunday.  It involves overseeing other people’s roles and ensuring they have what they need, alongside being responsible for any problems that arise such as there being no projector for the song words, or someone being ill and finding another to take over their role.  Duties include arranging bibles, leaflets on tables, setting up creche room, tidying up after the service and even putting up signs for the toilets!

It’s not glamorous or ‘up the front’, so may suit you down to the ground!  The main benefit is that you don’t miss out on the service for the most part (although you do need to be ready to help if any need arises), and once you’ve done it a few times, the tasks needed to be done each week become second nature!
