Our Church and Ministry Centre, as well as other churches and community services in the area are always in need of volunteers. See below for opportunities to get involved: 

Christ Church Aughton:  

Toddler group: Every Tuesday morning around 30 toddlers meet together with their parents/grandparents in the MInistry Centre from 10.00 am - 12.00 noon. The group is currently desperately in need of help with setting up on Monday afternoon, tidying away after the Tuesday session and also making refreshments on the Tuesday morning. If you, or anyone you know, would be willing to help with this please contact Pauline Taylor : 01695 581956. 

Cleaning team:  The team who do an excellent job of cleaning our church are also in need of helpers. If you are happy to help with this, please have a word with Carole Rankin or any other church warden.

Sound desk - There is a shortage of people looking after the sound desk on Sunday mornings at 10.45 services. This is a vital resource enabling us to stream our 10.45 am service. Please contact Jonathan Lock for more information.

Cafe Vista - If you are at least 16 years old and would like to donate your time at Cafe Vista  (even if it's just for a few hours or it's on a temporary basis) please call the church office at 01695 424530 or email [email protected] to request a volunteer form. Every little bit of help counts, particularly during the summer!

There are many other ways to get involved including becoming part of the church flowers team,  joining the tea/coffee rota, caretaking before/after events or participating on the pastoral team. If you want an informal chat about any one of these volunteering opportunities please speak to the church office. 

Food banks:  The Ormskirk and Skelmersdale food banks are in need of food items to distribute to those in need in the local community. Items that are most needed at this time are:

Long Life milk, biscuits, small bags of sugar, coffee, teabags, rice pudding, custard, sponge puddings, instant mash and hot dogs, tinned items such as fruit, carrots, potatoes, fish and meat.  Toiletries, feminine hygiene and baby nappies are also needed.  

Please call the Ministry Centre before your arrive to drop off your donations. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
