What is the PCC?PCCs (Parochial Church Councils) are crucial bodies in the leadership of Anglican churches. They can make a significant impact for good on church life. There are vacancies on our PCCs, including for Church Warden, for a PCC Secretary and PCC Treasurer. These are positions that form the leadership team of our church, who plan services, events, and support all we do to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ into our wider community. Please speak to Reverend Lesley if you need more information. If you feel you can serve God in this way, using your gifts and skills, please complete one of the nomination forms by clicking the link and hand in to Reverend Lesley before the Annual meeting – preferably the week before. Applications can be received any time up to and before the Annual Meetings (APCM) at St John's Sunday 10th May 9.30am.
