Our evening will start with worship from Paul Saxon, then we’ll cover the business side of things with annual reports and elections.  Rev Alan is going to give an update on our vision and then we’re going to have an opportunity to relax and socialise together with cheese and wine, plus soft drinks and nibbles.

APCM Annual Review and Accounts 2024

Dear Friends,

I hope you are having a good week.

Our Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) is taking place next Thursday (1st May) at 7.30pm in the Parish Centre.  This is an APCM with a difference as it will be a social event with cheese and wine, plus non-alcoholic drinks and nibbles. The evening will start with worship, then we will cover the business side of things with our annual reports and elections, Rev Alan will give an update on our vision, and then we’ll have an opportunity to relax and socialise. This parish-wide meeting is open to everyone from all our fellowships, and we hope this new format will help grow interest and increase attendance. Please try to prioritise attendance if you can. 

Ahead of the APCM, please click on the links below to access the following documents:

APCM_2024_Booklet_DIGITAL.pdf 

This is the Annual Review 2024. Our grateful thanks go to Ben Latham (ArtBox Studio) for producing this document.  We are trying to avoid unnecessary printing but, of course, if you would prefer to have a hard copy of this, please just contact me directly and I will provide you with one.

Financial Statements Year Ending 2024 – Abridged Copy.pdf  

This is the abridged version of the accounts.  If you wish to see the full accounts, hard copies will be available at the APCM as we are not permitted to circulate these online.

We really hope to see you at the APCM.  If you have any queries in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

Kind regards

Amanda
