Dear all,
Annual Parochial Church Meetings
All of our APCMs will take place in May and the dates and times are available below. An APCM is immediately preceded by the appointment of churchwardens. The APCM is an important meeting for those on a church electoral roll to elect any new PCC members* and Deanery Synod reps (if places are available), to hear about the parish finances and other important matters. Please do try to attend yours if you can.
Four of the benefice churches have services on Sunday. Details below.
Adherence to the strictly applied Covid-safe rules will be required by all who attend including wearing of mask*, gelling hands on entry and exit, staying 2m apart and not mingling inside church. Up to 6 people may now meet socially distanced outside. (*unless medically exempt)
Please note that the online service this Sunday will be available in one file.
Please see new instructions below. We now have an increased file capacity available, so we are hoping your listening experience will be improved this week. Thank you.
Please do get in touch with me if you have any questions or just to have a chat.
Prerecorded Audio Service on Sunday 2nd May: You can find the service and songs with the sound file. * It was recorded in church last Sunday 25th April so you receive it a week late.
