The Parochial Church Council (PCC) helps the church to play it’s part in God’s mission, cooperates with the minister, ensures legal compliance with charity and ecclesiastical law, cares for our buildings and is a channel of consultation within the wider church.
Latest PCC Update
The PCC met on November 27th.
Tom confirmed the good news that Cassey Miller and Caroline Pitts had agreed to job share the Church Administrator role.
Progress is being made towards getting the church open during the week, while keeping the insurers happy. We are exploring how to relocate a significant amount of the sound equipment which needs some careful planning, but we are making progress.
Further proposals about the Southbourne 150 celebrations were discussed, including new banners for the front side walls, and joint activities with the whole community.
The Families and Youth work continues to grow, including amongst the teenagers, 2 of whom got confirmed recently.
We discussed vulnerable groups under the Safeguarding heading, and this led to ideas to improve the acoustics in the Centre lounge, and provide chairs with arms in church for some less mobile people.
The full minutes are always available on request at the church office. Please continue to pray for your PCC.
ANNUAL REPORT
During 2023, the PCC prayed into a restructuring that delegates more responsibilities to Teams (sub-committees) that would meet to pray, discuss and report back to the PCC. The hope is that more people can be involved in running the Church, and the PCC has more time for our longer-term aims and vision.
