The church annual meeting
On Sunday 27th April, after the morning service, there will be the Annual Parishioners’ Meeting, followed by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). This is when we receive our Financial Statement for 2024, with reports on the work of the church during the past year, and also elect our churchwardens and PCC (Parochial Church Council) members for the forthcoming year. There are special forms for the nomination of PCC members and churchwardens – please use one if you would like to make a nomination, and remember you need to ask your nominee if they are willing to stand and also find a seconder. Please also pray for this very important meeting.
Please note . . .

Join the JC Squad!
'The J C Squad' is the new name for our Sunday School, and it runs at 10.30am during morning service. Children rejoin their parents in church at the end of the main service and often share with the whole congregation something of what they've been doing that day.
