There are a number of roles to be filled this year as set out below: please consider serving in one of them. As some may be more familiar to you than others, a little information can be found here. If you can give of your time and abilities, would you please prayerfully consider whether one of these roles might be for you. If you feel that you might be able to take on one of these roles and wish to know more, please do get in touch with our Rector, Alan Jenkins (alan.jenkins@stnicolasbookham.org.uk or 01372 635873) or with our PCC Secretary, Amanda Rowland (pcc.secretary@stnicolasbookham.org.uk or 07702 678480).
