The outcome of the Annual Church Meetings and the PCC meeting in terms of appointments are reported below. We are thankful for all those people who take on responsibility and give of themselves to support the life of our whole church. You will see that there are opportunities for others of you to step forward and offer to take up some of the formal and informal rolls that keep the church going. This is true of the various rotas e.g. (off the top of my head) sidespeople, serving coffee after the service, flower arranging, Saturday Café, and cleaning the church; or individual things like occasional cleaning of the church silver, or locking and unlocking the church when the Vicar is away. When you feel comfortable and a part of our church and would like to do a little more for our life together do come and ask, or talk to people already doing one of those things to find out more.

May the Holy Spirit bless us in the life of our church,

Tim
