Invite to a PCC meeting

All Saints’ Church  each has a parochial church council responsible for looking after the finances and fabric of the church and working with the vicar to oversee and lead its work and mission.

We would welcome anyone who would like to attend a PCC to see what is going on.

All Saints’ next PCC meeting is on the 18th April at 7:30pm in church.

Likewise if you have any issues or points you wish to have raised at a PCC meeting, please message Toby before hand so they can be added to the agenda, and we will try and address them at the next meeting.

Thank you
