Roll: - last chance to sign up today! Please see Debbie for a form or if you have
any questions.
We
would like to try out a sort of ‘mentoring’ system for our young people. What we need are willing adults volunteering
to have a young person come and sit with them, either when they come in from
Rocks, or during the All Age Services.
What is expected of you? Help
your ‘charge’ engage in and follow the service.
[Note the very helpful guide to Holy Communion on the book rack in the
porch.] We hope this will not only
enable all ages to get more out of the services, but also allow better
interaction between the ages in our congregation. If you are interested, please speak to Sarah.
If
you use the envelope scheme in your giving, please come and collect your new
batch of envelopes. If you don’t use
this scheme currently, but would like to, there will probably be some spare
envelopes, so please see Sarah!
We’re
hoping to start up a group for our slightly older children. If
you’re interested in finding out more, or perhaps helping lead this group,
please speak to Heather or Frances.
You
will – we hope, notice the change in temperature in church today! The radiators have been replaced and so the
heating is working! We spent a bit of time getting quotes to replace
like-for-like [not an entirely efficient way to heat the church building]. The quotes for this were between £5628 and
£7295. We also got a quote to replace the
current system with a ‘wet’ system. As
well as a more efficient heat system, this would enable hot water to be
available and provide heating in the crèche and Rocks room. The quote for this was around
£26,640.00. It was decided – pretty
promptly – that we simply cannot afford the latter, and so have gone for a
like-for-like system.
Toward
the end of last year, the PCC submitted a grant application to English Heritage
for funds towards repairs on the church – primarily to do with the back end of
the church that is slowly pulling away from the main body and causing large
cracks. However, we were not successful
in our bid – simply because there are other applications from our region that
were more urgent than ours. At some
stage the Buildings Committee will meet to look at where we go now, prioritise
works needed etc. If you would like to
feed ideas into that, please let Paul, Julian or Judith know.
If you have any photos of
Parish/Church life, send them to Paul or Sarah via email and they will be posted
on the parish blog site.
Consider the postage stamp:
its usefulness consists in the
ability
to stick to one thing till it
gets there
