Welcome to your
APCM SPECIAL
11am 7th March meeting of Parishioners
11:05 7th March APCM
 

Welcome to the first and probably the last APCM special update.
This weekend on Sunday St. Mary's holds its Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) and Meeting of Parishioners. All the documents have been available on the website over the past weeks and hard copies available by request.

The PCC is the governing body of your church, we would like to see that body made up from a wide diversity of our congregation so that all the various groups and interests are represented in our discussions and decisions.  Is your group represented? Could you have an input?
Please talk to any PCC member, churchwarden or vicar for more information

I hope you have had a good look at all the documents and reports as these will be taken as read at the meetings and NOT read aloud during the meeting.  You are invited to ask any questions for clarification at the meeting on Sunday, or you could ask them before hand if you wish.

Nominations for the posts of Churchwarden and PCC members need to be received before the meeting starts.  I am pleased to report we have nominations for most posts as shown below, but there is still time for a last couple of posts.

My thanks go to all who have served our God and our local church this past year as wardens and PCC members, and for those who are stepping down, I pray you may enjoy your well-earned rest.  A special vote of thanks go to Wendy Watmough as she steps down from being your churchwardens so that she can give Phil the attention needed.
