Annual Parochial Church Meeting - 25th April |
|
Please make a note in your diaries that the Annual Parochial Church Meeting will be held on Sunday 25th April after the 10a.m. service. Ken Perrett will stand down as Churchwarden this year so we need a new Churchwarden in addition to new members of the PCC. Please give some thought and prayer as to whether this is a role which you could undertake to help our church move forward as the exciting work of renovation commences and the parish vision progresses. Please speak to Lisa, Ken, Laszlo or any member of the PCC if you would like more information.

Calling all parishioners!! Can you please help us sell tiles for our roof renovation project?
We desperately need to raise funds as you know and we have received a lot of generous donations but we still need a lot more to fulfill our plans.
We plan to sell tiles in teams of 2 or 3 on 2 consecutive Saturday mornings in March initially, outside the new Co-Op at £1.00 per tile. (Also handy for Costa take-away coffees!!)
We are requesting one hour slots and you can choose to do it with your friends. I will be asking parishioners to sign up for a one hour slot between 9.30am and 12.30am on 13th or 20th March after some church services in February. Look out for me with a clip board in the foyer after church! Please try and help OUR church.
We cannot do this without everyone's help.
Many thanks, Diana Gray
