THE APCM THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18th 2020
You may remember that, due to the Covid-19 lockdown, the APCM which is normally held in April was delayed until October. It will now take place at 11.15 immediately after the 10am Parish Communion Service. As some of you will be worshipping via Zoom, we have made every effort to ensure that you are able to participate as fully as possible. Please say prayers that the technology behaves itself and that you are all up on the big screen and able to contribute in person! Permission has also been given for anyone worshipping via Zoom to be counted as being present at the APCM.
We are grateful for your support with reading, leading prayers, and selecting hymns and worship music for services held on Zoom. We are also planning get the Sides Persons’ Rota up and running again. Your help is needed! Please let Caroline Bews, PCC Secretary, know if you are interested in continuing in any of these roles either in church and or on Zoom – by calling 07961 186008.
