AGM & ECC Membership. Our AGM will take place on Sunday 14th

At our AGM this year we have up to 5 spaces on the ECC to fill as
various people's terms on the ECC come to an end. In addition one
of our church wardens, after a number of years of faithful service, is

involved in serving on the ECC or as Church Warden, please speak
to myself or Helena or Paul, and please be praying for those on the
ECC and considering offering themselves to serve us in this way

Everybody Welcome We are going to run this fantastic course
during Lent. Everybody Welcome is a four week course for the whole
church - a chance for us to meet together, to grow together and be
challenged and inspired by God together. We are strongly
encouraging everyone from the church family to come along, we
want to hear from everyone. The tagline for the course is "the course
where everybody helps grow their church". It's an incredibly practical
and encouraging course, but will also give us some clear points for
action as we review ourselves together.
We are going to run the course twice each week, one daytime group,
and one evening group and we hope that means that the maximum
number of people will be able to attend. The regular evening house
groups are not going to meet during these 4 weeks, and instead
encourage their members to come along to the church for these
evenings.
The dates and times are as follows: Wednesdays - 10am-12 noon:
27th Feb, 6th March, 13th March, 20th March
Thursdays - 7.30-9.30pm: 28th Feb, 7th March, 14th March, 21st
March
Please try and come along - let's enjoy meeting together in this way
and see what God wants to say to us as a church family. Please do
speak to me if you have further questions.
Covenanting Churches Lent House Groups Although we are
running "Everybody Welcome" this Lent and so not offering house
groups to the Covenanting Churches, we are still welcome to join
other groups across the area if anyone wants to. A full list of the
groups is displayed on the noticeboard in church.
The Day Centre need another volunteer cook to help once a month
on a Thursday, 9.00am to 2.00pm. They need to be able to prepare a
simple hot meal for approx 12-20 people and will have a small team
of 3/4 people to help with preparation, serving/ washing up etc. We
would love to cover this slot and be able to provide another days
meal for people who need it. You would be part of a friendly and
relaxed group and at the same time provide a valuable service to our
community. If you need any more information please speak to either
Maureen Worley or Marjorie Harding or telephone Liz on 01902
759258. Many thanks.
