Many hands…
Volunteers are so important to Dromore Cathedral. Without them we simply couldn’t continue doing all the work we do. Volunteering is a great way to help us realise our mission and is a great opportunity to meet new people and learn from each other.
There are loads of opportunities to volunteer at the Cathedral:
Lesson Reading
We have a small group of people who read the Bible Lessons at the 10:00am, 10:45am and 11:30am services. If this is something you feel you could do, please speak to the Rector or contact the church office.
Cathedral Choir
The Cathedral Choir is a group of enthusiastic singers of all ages who lead worship mainly at the 11:30am services but also at the monthly family service at 10:45am on the 4th Sunday, and on special occasions such as Christmas, Easter and Harvest. If singing is your thing, feel free to go along and sit with the choir any Sunday!
Our sound team ensure that the music, singers and speakers are heard and balanced appropriately. It is also important that sound operators ensure the 10:45am and 11:30am services are recorded each week for CD ministry to housebound parishioners If you are interested in helping or learning more, please speak to the Rector or Scott Mackey.
We have a state of the art Audio Visual System that was installed by Rea Sound of Cookstown in 2021 which requires small team of people who help operate the screens in church. This usually involves PowerPoint and/or cameras. From time to time, some services are also live-streamed, but this is not a regular occurrence. If you would like to know more, please contact the Rector or speak to any member of the team.
Praise Team
The Praise Team leads worship at the 10:00am and 10:45am services as well as the Praise, Prayer & Testimony services on the first Sunday evening of each month (except July and August). There is a rota system in operation with 2 or 3 singers at each service. The team is always on the lookout for singers or musicians. Please see Karen Bowden if you can help out.
Refreshments are served in the Cathedral Hall between the 10:00am and 11:30am services. But the tea won’t make itself nor will the cups find their own way back into the cupboard.
We also have a team who provide hospitality at other occasions such as funerals. If you could help, please contact Jill in the office.
Flower Arranging
The flowers at the front of the Cathedral are arranged each week by a team of volunteers who usually operate on a monthly basis. Flowers are normally donated or provided by parishioners, often in memory of a family member. If you think you could donate or provide flowers or even help with arranging, please see Sara McCorkell or contact Jill in the office.
