Always seeking helpers on a Sunday morning.  What's required?  Help the children with their craft.  Musical?  Lead a hymn.  Leader?  Teach the children a valuable lesson which is already prepared. 
 
Can't help out on a Sunday morning?  We will need volunteers to help out with Breakfast with Santa; gatherings with the Youth, other events throughout the year with the children.  Many opportunities exist... and none of them overwhelming.  The Christian Education Action Group are a fun group of parents with varied abilities and welcome newcomers!
