	Housekeeping
	It would be of inestimable value to know how well we as churches are resourced in terms of skills and talents. Have a look at the areas below and give a moment's prayerful thought to whether any of them might be you. Respond by dropping your name, contact details and keywords, suitably enveloped, into the collection bag at church on any Sunday.
	Thesp You have dramatic tendencies. Childhood dreams of 'treading the boards', though frustrated by the need to earn a crust, still linger on... You wouldn't mind learning a few lines and performing. You'd quite like to help others to express their 'inner Olivier'.
	Hearty You love a kickabout and are most likely to skive church to watch or play sport. You'd like to participate in any sporting activities and maybe help to coach some. You still harbour international aspirations, cos after all Stanley Matthews was still playing in the first division at 50...
	Arty Craftier than a crofter's undershirt, you love to engage in all things creative. You can glue like a human Prittstick, you were born with glitter in your hair, you can draw a face that looks like a face. You quite like the idea of craft tables, banners, posters and the like...
	Foodie Born cooking, you absorbed a lifetime of fabulous recipes from your mummy whilst scoffing the leftover mixture from out of the mixing bowl. You can cook. You have or don't object to getting an Essential Food Hygiene badge. You secretly yearn to share your culinary wisdom with others and have always fancied yourself as a bit of a Galloping Gourmet...
	Muso Having composed your first concerto at 3, you have been improvising freeform jazz when you whistle the dog in ever since. You can play an instrument well. You would like to use this skill. Yehudi Menuhin once glanced in your direction and you knew that he knew that he was in the presence of real talent...
	Moneybags It's a long shot, but you may have been blessed with the finances of a premier league footballer... sleepless nights are spent in mental anguish as you long, nay yearn for a worthy cause to bankroll with your billions. We may be able to help... Particularly if you would like to support the purchase of some of the resources for activities like Kids' Club, Toddler group and Daybreak, which get through a lot of special stationery.
	Camel Knees Having been nominated "Prayer's Prayer of the Year" since the time of Augustine, you will have participated in several resurrections by now. You will be willing to pray for stuff as it comes along. The Holy Spirit has you on speed dial.
	Techie You possess every gadget known to man (and in this case we probably mean man) and many that are yet to be invented are presently on order with Amazon pending release sometime in the 22nd century, by which time the cryogenic revolution will have enabled your texting thumb to be preserved to a) pay for them and b) use them. You have some camera or computing or AV or sound and light knowhow. You are willing to deploy said wisdom in the service of the Lord. And maybe reach out to a lovable Luddite somewhere...
