Christmas Table – Volunteer Roles
This Christmas Day, we’re opening our doors for Christmas Table — a festive meal for anyone who would otherwise be alone or in need of community. It’s a chance to share food, friendship, and the love of Jesus together after our 10:30am Holy Communion service. We’ll serve a starter at 12:30pm, followed by dinner and pudding in the church hall. To make it happen, we’re gathering a joyful team of volunteers to serve, cook, decorate, and clear up.
Led by the Wardens and Rector, this will be a team effort full of laughter, service, and gratitude.
Set-Up Team (Christmas Eve)
Help us prepare the space for our guests on Christmas Eve! This team will set tables, decorate the hall, prepare place settings, and make sure everything is ready for a warm welcome on Christmas Day. Great for those who love to create a festive atmosphere and can spare a few hours on Christmas Eve.
Kitchen Team (Christmas Day)
Join the heart of the operation! The kitchen team will help cook, plate up, and serve our Christmas meal — from starters at 12:30 to pudding. You’ll work closely with the wardens, Pam and Linda to make sure every guest is well fed and feels loved. A great role if you’re happy in the bustle of the kitchen and serving others with joy.
Washing Up & Pack-Down Team (Christmas Day Afternoon)
Once the feast is over, this team helps with the practical blessing of washing up, tidying, and resetting the space. It’s a behind-the-scenes act of service that keeps the day running smoothly and helps everyone head home with full hearts and a clean hall. Perfect for those who don’t mind rolling up their sleeves and quietly making a big difference.
