APCM and Annual Meeting of the Parishioners

This year the APCM for the Parish has been delayed by COVID-19. This is the first opportunity we have to hold this meeting in church (it will also be on Zoom). We are keeping the agenda to the minimum possible, but giving space for members of the Parish to raise their own concerns. To make sure you get the answer you need we are asking you to submit questions in advance to the Parish Secretaries  -   andrew.warner@parishiod.org.uk

There are 7 positions on the PCC that we need to fill. Nomination forms are available from church and online (please see the form posted on the weekly ChurchDesk newsletter)

In addition to the APCM we will hold the Annual Meeting of the Parishioners. This will appoint 2 Churchwardens for the coming year. Again, nomination forms are available from church and online (please see the form posted on the weekly ChurchDesk newsletter)
