Job Opportunities SITUATIONS VACANT
Communications We are still
looking for a volunteer for this. Where we need
help is: Contact with
Malvern Gazette for any event (notifying them in advance and informing them
afterwards of what happened). Acting as a focal point for · the
distribution of “flyers” about special events; · distributing the
Pewsletter to various places e.g., Caravan sites, hotels, Doctors surgeries; · summary notices in the
Porch/ · anything else that is
seen to be a “good idea”! This is not to
replace anything that is being done already, nor is it expected that someone
will do everything themselves. Whatever
is done will be more than is being done at the moment and yes this request is
aimed at YOU! Eric Church Flowers
Flowers are a
gift to the glory of God and whilst they are not necessary in a church they do
remind us of God’s creation. The purpose of flowers in church is to add
beauty. They are not there to dominate or distract from the purpose of worship.
It is for this reason that normally there is only one arrangement placed by the
side of the altar. During festivals such as Christmas and Easter we are more
abundant with our displays in the main body of the church. I am sure that
the beautiful flower arrangements which enhance Little Malvern Priory are much
appreciated by us all and we are constantly grateful to our talented flower
arrangers. However, for the coming year a few of the team of arrangers are
having to relinquish or reduce their commitment for various reasons and we
should be very grateful if there are any members of the congregation who would
like to come along and join the team. We are always
grateful for the generous donations made by the congregation for festivals. For
the majority of the year however, the flowers and greenery are provided by the
flower arrangers themselves. This generosity as well as their time and effort is
truly appreciated. Should
you wish to join ‘the team’ please let me know, in person, by phone –
01684575753, or email: beesteele@btinternet.com

Our Counselling service was founded in 1993 and is part of the Lyttelton Well which is supported by many of the Malvern churches. We are a team of qualified counsellors who provide counselling for a wide range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, abuse and bereavement. We work closely with the community with many of our referrals coming from local GP’s. We work within the code of standards and ethics of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and the ACC (Association of Christian Counsellors).
Would you like to join us? We are currently looking for volunteers in two areas: Counsellors – you will need to have a Counselling Diploma and be able to give 2 to 3 hours a week to meet with clients. Reception cover – could you give 2 hours a week, day or evening , to take phone calls and make clients feel welcome? If you would like further information please leave a message for Julie Jarman, Head of Counselling, at the Well (01684 563456) and she will be delighted to contact you.
The
Lyttelton Well Coffee House
The hub of the Coffee House is our Catering Manager, Dave.
Everything revolves around him and without him nothing revolves. We have three
part-time cooks, one working every afternoon and the other two sharing the
morning shifts between them. From Monday to Friday volunteers cover all the
washing up duties, food preparation and waiting & waitressing. Working with
a three-shift system this amounts to a lot of volunteers needed to keep it all
running smoothly.
The shifts are of approximately 2½ hours each in the morning,
at lunchtime and in the afternoon. If
you have any spare time and would like to be part of a very happy, cheerful and
successful team and would like to see Dave with a smile as wide as the Bristol
Channel, call him and say, “I think I might like to do some voluntary work”.
We would be delighted to give you a taster session if you would like to
see whether this is something that you would like to do. Phone Dave on 01684
573702 and he will talk you through the rest. The
Lyttelton Well Volunteer Appeal
The Lyttelton Well is known ostensibly for its Coffee House and
its Christian Bookshop but there is so much more to the Well than these two
elements. The Well is much like the Biblical story of one body with many parts
that all function together so that none can say that it has no need any of the
other parts. One of the factors that all the parts of that one body have in common is their dependence on volunteers, providing the Well with its unique ethos and our many regular customers with friendly, welcoming faces in an otherwise chaotic and busy world. We would be delighted to give you a taster session if you would like to see whether this is something that you would like to do.
