NOTICES

VACANCY IN THE PARISH

The PCC had a good Section 11 Meeting last week at which they dealt with the statutory business, including:

The Parish Profile was finalised. This will help to inform the Bishop and Patrons in their search for a new Vicar for St Mary’s, and will be distributed to candidates.

Two Parish Representatives were appointed, who are Elsie Points and Catherine McArdle. They will be responsible for meeting a possible new Vicar and agreeing the appointment.

The Section 12 Meeting of the PCC with Canon Oakley, Bishop Pete, and others will be on Thursday 26th January.
