Thank you to those who joined us following our Service in April for the Annual Parish Church Meeting.  This meeting is extremely exciting and it is fortunate that All Saints has enough chairs to sit everyone down comfortably.  The reports have us sitting on the edge of our seats: Rector's Report, Churchwarden's Report, Fabric Report, Treasurer's Report, Electoral Roll Report, Deanery Synod Report, Safeguarding Report and Rural Dean's Report.  But there is nothing quite as scintillating as the elections when everyone who was elected for a role last year (and often the year before that) become re-elected for yet another year.  In actual fact, despite All Saints PCC remaining the same this year, there were two new members last year.  A certain amount of change is necessary for fresh ideas to manifest and for a team to actively move forward - a balance of stability, experience and fresh ideas.

Hence the cleaning of the vestry.  Everything came out.  The cobwebs were swept away.  The floor washed and the wood polished.  And then we put it all (not quite all) back in again!

Our 4th Sunday Service in June is on the 28th at 9.30am.  We look forward to welcoming all who can make it and thee will be the usual refreshments following the service.  Anyone needing to go into the vestry will have to take their shoes off!
