In June 2025 we asked for volunteers to answer the phone in the church office for 3 hours in the afternoon once a month. Fifteen of you responded and have faithfully answered the phones from 1-4 pm for the past ten months. During this time life has changed for some and now we are in need of additional volunteers to work one afternoon a month and be the friendly voice of St. Giles or to serve as a substitute. If you might be willing to fill this need, please contact Lynne Chambers at 804-396-3053 to discuss the position.
