Opportunities to serve

Hi all, there are a few opportunities to serve coming up that may interest you...

On Monday it is Adelaide Cup Day. Traditionally this is the way we have kicked off our Red Shield Appeal and there will be collectors there. This is also an opportunity to connect with the community. Across the course of the day there will be plenty of people needing assistance. Perhaps some have drunk too much, perhaps some have become disconnected with friends or family.

On Sunday March 27 we are participating in the Marion Celebrates event at Warriaparinga, Sturt. This will involve a stall where we will sell fair trade tea, coffee, chocolate and easter eggs and a chance to showcase the activities that the Corps offers. Please let Brad know if you would be interested in helping out.

Hopefully some time in April we will be opening our second Thrift Shop in Ascot Park. The idea of this is to remove the deficit from the budget in our Glenelg cost centre. We have approached someone to lead this venture, and Greg will oversight it from Seacombe Gardens. However, we will need people willing to give a few hours a week to keep it open! If you are interested, see Brad.

On Easter Sunday we will be celebrating with the other churches from around Brighton and Marion at Seacliff Beach. Our musicians will be on duty for the dawn service and they would love your support.

On Anzac Day we have two teams out. The musicians will be supporting the dawn service at Brighton Jetty. The emergency services team will be supporting the dawn service at Glenelg. If you want more details, speak to Neil Stokoe (Brighton) or Tryntje Betterman (Glenelg).

We are planning a open day at the Glenelg Centre on April 28. We need to confirm this date after the renovations are finished. We plan to open this to the community and show off the 'new' facility. If you have ideas for this night (it's a Thursday night) please let us know.

Please also check in with Judith if you are interested in supporting the prayer and congregational care ministries of our church. She can direct you to people we know need support and supports Kathleen in coordinating the prayer ministries and membership classes, while also looking after our newcomers.

Finally, Catherine is putting together a list of people that are willing to help with our youth ministry. This is a special minsitry and you will need to be police checked, and undertake Childsafe training, prior to commencement. If you are interested, let her know.

There's always opportunities to find your niche at Marion Salvos.
