All Saints’ Church, Thelwall Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend Douglas Black, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also responsible for the Parish Hall on Bell Lane Thelwall.
Our mission statement is:-
Growing Up: to grow our faith by helping people to pray and study the Bible, as individuals, in small groups and as a congregation.
Growing Together: to grow into a welcoming, caring, inclusive family that worships and works (and plays!) together well.
Growing Out: to grow in our practical service to the community, and to develop our support for our adopted national & international charities.
Growing More: to grow the church by a spirit of openness: i.e. a warm welcome, friendship, faith sharing, personal invitation, and a diary of inclusive events & groups for all ages.
We operate through a series of Action Groups, which work as interdependent teams, recognising and benefiting from each of their member’s gifts, strengths and abilities.
OBJECTIVES and ACTIVITIES
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at All Saints. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
worship and prayer;
learning about the Gospel;
developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus;
providing pastoral care for people living in the parish;
missionary and outreach work.
To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church and the Parish Hall.
