The APCM is basically the church’s annual meeting. It was a chance to look back over the past year, hear what’s been going on, and find out about any important updates. Even if you’re not on a committee, it’s helpful because it gives you a simple overview of church life and where things are heading.

At the meeting, people usually heard short reports about the church’s worship, activities, finances, and ministry. There were also elections for roles like churchwardens, PCC members, and deanery synod reps. These are the people who help with the practical side of church life and support the church’s mission and future plans.

For most church members, the APCM was mainly about staying informed. It was a chance to celebrate what had gone well over the year 2025, thank the people who give their time and energy, and hear about any priorities for the year ahead. It was a good opportunity to ask questions and feel more connected to what’s happening in the church.

I want to thank those who attended and particularly those who came on the Church council and took on various roles in the Church. Sadly we are still short of a secretary – and having said he was going to give up a year ago – Chris has kindly kept his role of treasurer until December 2026. If any others would like to help in any way – please let Brian (Vicar) or Linda (Churchwarden) know.
