INFORMAL MEN’S BREAKFAST

REFRESHMENT TEAM

A warm welcome can make all the difference! For many people, sharing a cup of tea or coffee before or after a service is an important part of feeling welcome, getting to know others and finding a sense of belonging at church. Many of our new congregation members comment about how welcoming this is.

Could you help us in delivering this ministry? We would love a few more people to join the team, so that the responsibility can be shared and everyone has the opportunity to serve in this simple but really important way.

You don’t need any special skills — just a willingness to help and a friendly smile! Safeguarding training is required for everyone serving on the team, but don’t let that put you off: the training will be provided and can be done online or in person, and we will help you through the process.

Whether you can help regularly or just occasionally, your contribution would make a real difference.

If you would like to find out more or get involved, please contact the church office at office@holytrinityripon.org.uk or 01756 690930.
