Our Annual General Meeting this year will be on Wednesday 21 October at 7.30pm using Zoom.
It will use the normal Sunday service sign in – please ask if you need it.
THIS YEAR IT’S DIFFERENT – READ ON!
- We will be electing Church Wardens, PCC (Parochial Church Council), Deputy and Assistant Wardens, Sidespeople, and Deanery Synod Reps.
- We also as a church will hear reports on what happened to money that went through our accounts last year and on Safeguarding.
- We will read and comment on any written reports on all the activities that went on.
- BUT also this year we want to celebrate what God has been doing in and around us during these challenging times. So, come prepared with a drink, cake or pudding and prepare to share in any way you want (picturess or songs all welcome – just let us know beforehand so we can have them ready)
The Minutes from the 2019 AGM and AVM* can be read here.
*Annual Vestry Meeting – a sort of pre-AGM where some of the elections take place.
Elections
- Church Wardens have a legally responsible position within the Church of England, especially for the fabric of the Church. If you would like to know more about these posts have a chat with Simon or Tim.
- PCC meets about 8 or 9 times a year to hear reports from sub-groups, discuss events and situations affecting the Church, and decide about church strategy, policy and direction. Along with Simon, Jess and Wardens they make decisions on what the Church should be doing in activity, money and with the buildings. Want to know more? Ask a current PCC member. Gordon (PCC Secretary) can point them out to you.
- Deputy and Assistant Wardens are people who take responsibility for making our Sunday morning worship happen- arrive a bit earlier than normal, put out what’s needed, stand at the back, greet people and then help with anything that needs organising or tidying up at the end. Speak to Tim if you want to know more
- Sidespeople/Welcome Team arrive a bit early, greet people as they arrive and make them feel welcome. This important job is open to everyone – why not volunteer for it once a month? Have a word with Judith Keeble.
