WOW

The church was standing room only!  So lovely to see so many faces from all generations to remember our fallen heroes.

What a lovely service with the girls helping Rev. Amanda in so many ways

 

 

 

 

 

A prayer for those involved in the tragic accident on Wakefield Road, Moldgreen on Wednesday morning.

 

Gracious God, in our grief and shock,

contain and comfort us;

embrace us with love,

give us hope in our confusion

and grace to love those around us.  Amen

• Circulate PCC, by email, with any relevant correspondence as required.
• Prepare Nomination Forms, and ‘Fit and Proper’ Declaration Forms for Election to the PCC, and, when necessary, the Deanery Synod
• Prepare Annual Report for the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) and circulate to Church Members.
• Attend the APCM and take the Minutes.
• Prepare and submit Annual Return Forms to the Diocese following the APCM, and any other forms required by the Diocese.

If you are interested in learning more about this role, without making any commitment, please email Jacqueline Martyn the current PCC Secretary (Jacqueline.martyn@outlook.com)or Reverend Amanda Grant (amandagrant1@hotmail.com).

 

This voluntary position requires you to be an Elected Member of the Parochial Church Council (PCC), and to take Communion at least three times a year.

 

Messy Church was busy today, with many many children and parents all making activities about remembering.  Revd. Tim gave a talk on the Eucharist and how Christians remember Christ when having communion.  We all had a fabulous time, with sausages and mash for tea with cake for dessert.  Then a game of Messy Tag, before going home exhausted!
