Would you like to take a more active part in the running of the church? Then why not consider joining the PCC? We meet about once a quarter and have our discussions over a glass of wine and a piece of cake.
So what is the PCC?
Aims, Purposes, Objectives and Activities
St Nicholas' Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the vicar, in promoting the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at St Nicholas. The PCC maintains an overview of worship and makes suggestions on how our services can meet the needs of the many groups that live within our parish. It also makes provision for pastoral care and is responsible for the maintenance of the church.
The small print: no one may be elected as a lay representative to a parochial church council or deanery synod unless his or her name is on the church electoral roll of the parish and he or she is at least sixteen years old and an actual communicant (i.e. having received communion according to the use of the Church of England or of a Church in communion with the Church of England at least three times in the preceding twelve months). Except in the case of those under 18, the names of those standing for election must in addition have been entered on the church electoral roll for a period of six months preceding the election.
If you would like more information or to put yourself forward, please contact the churchwardens (Alicia, Joy), the secretary (Claire Henry) or the Chair (Darren).
