So what is messy church????

The Hospice of St. Francis

Revised: 2-may-08

In April we carried out our own annual inspection of the premises to see if anything has been overlooked or deteriorated to the point where it needs attention. Just a few minor adjustments need to be made, and all can be tackled by volunteers.

We are very grateful to our regular volunteer cleaners, but it was decided that there will be a more thorough cleaning of the premises twice a year, led by Maureen Sismey, who would welcome volunteers for her team. This will “reach the parts that the others don’t” (because it would be unreasonable and unnecessary on a weekly basis).

At our committee meeting Circuit steward Paul Spencer gave us a presentation concerning the need for everyone to be vigilant in spotting potential health and safety hazards. If you see something that could cause us a problem have a word with Roger or Tony.
