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 or Church Council 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.
