Dear All
Firstly, I fully appreciate that all of you already have various commitment(s) at St Andrews, hence being on this email list. However, I am currently trying to recruit a few individuals to help count the cash (ie: offertory, candles and tea&coffee donations) after Sunday Mass and wondered if any of you might be interested.
At present, we have 4 teams who cash-count on a rota basis, meaning that – generally – each team is ‘on duty’ once every 4 weeks. If we are able to recruit two or three extra teams, then each team should only be required to count once every six weeks – maybe just 10 times a year.
If you are interested, please let me know. Each team will need a minimum of two people (adults), so you can volunteer yourself alone, in which case you would be paired with another, or as a husband/wife team, or a team with yourself and a friend.
It is important to note that counting the cash and being on the tea and coffee rota are not compatible, as these roles run concurrently.
Although the role is not particularly onerous, training is required and will be provided (by me!) As a guide, counting the cash would normally take between 30 and 45 minutes, depending upon whether there is a special collection.
If you would like to find out more, please either reply by email or catch me after Mass one Sunday. Unfortunately I will not be at Mass this coming weekend, but should be at St Andrews again on the 21st Feb.
Many thanks
Caroline
