How Can I Help?
The Bookstore has many skills that are needed for a lot of different projects
There's a variety of things we need help with and maybe you have the skills for it:
- Assist in setting up the website and putting all stock online.
- Organising and distributing online orders on-site or via mail/delivery
- Keeping track of inventory
- Assisting with social media
- Each Sunday
- Set out books, and guest table by 8:45 am each Sunday, and pack books following the post morning service shift.
- Manning the physical Book Store location
- Balancing the money box with square (our Point of Sale System)
I'm MINI, Can I be involved?
Young or young at heart, you can join us!
For the Southland MINI-stry, kids are encouraged to sign up too (with mum or dad's permission)
- MINI-stry requirements:
- Arrange to stay a little later on Sunday afternoons after the morning service on the months they are rostered on
- Let us know if they can’t make one of their rostered dates
- Assist the Store Staff in neatly and carefully packing away the books and other merchandise
- Assist the Store Staff in returning the Book Store Shelves to the appropriate place
- If a volunteer also happens to arrive early, the Store Staff would be thrilled with help for Book Store set up also
Making the commitment
How often am I needed?
- Availability for a month-long roster (Number of months per year will be based on volunteer numbers)
- Availability for the management of online store and purchases
- In the instance that another commitment is unforeseen and unavoidable volunteers should take the responsibility of organising their own replacement.
- We are willing to account for other ministry obligations in regards to rostering as a measure to ensure volunteers are as committed as possible to their rostered shifts so it is imperative that volunteers communicate with us their prior commitments as soon as possible.
