Paul Foster asked, ‘Where do we go from here?’ in June following Father David Morgan’s departure, and since then there has been a great deal of work behind the scenes. The Bishop is developing a roadmap for reorganisation within the Diocese which the PCC has discussed and responded to. The PCC have appointed Paul Quinn and Rachel Houlberg as our Parish representatives. One of Rachel and Paul’s tasks will be to rework to the Parish profile, which sets out our vision for the future life of the Church to be used in the appointments process. In order to do this, we intend to hold an open meeting following the 11am Service on 16th October at 12 noon to which all Villagers are invited. This will be an opportunity for anyone to contribute to the process of working out what matters most to us as we move to our next phase of the life and worship of the Church.

The Church remains in good heart thanks to the many contributors to the daily, weekly and annual cycles of life in this Parish. As part of this, and in response to our challenging times we are hoping to offer a cooked meal after our Sunday service through the winter months of November, December and January. Please contact Rachel on [email protected] if you can offer help with this.
