Church Admin : Yearbook Sunday

 

Yearbook Sunday 2024 - 12th May @ 10:25

In common with many churches, we are changing the way we do our 'Annual Meeting' this year. During our 1025 service on the 12th May at the Church Centre we will show a film celebrating the life of the church over the last year. Then, when the children have gone to their groups, the service will continue as usual, with the sermon replaced by some brief input on 'Loving, Learning, Living' and a short update on the finances. We will also pray for our new church wardens and PCM members. After the service you are welcome to stay for lunch, where the rector, curate, wardens and treasurer will be available at the front of the room for anyone who wants to ask any detailed questions or raise matters concerning the life of the church. We are also inviting all those who lead groups or ministries to have a table where they can be available to talk more with people about those areas of church life. For example, Jenny and Jon will be available to talk about Children's & Families' work and Youth Work.

 

Why are we trying out this format?

We want to make this annual event more accessible, more interesting, and more interactive!

 

How can I get involved?

  • ► If you are on a team or in a group please take photos or videos and send them to the church office by 7th May. Steve will then use these to make the film. We can also use this on the website in the year ahead for those who are looking for an indication of what we are about.

  • ► Similarly, if you lead a team or a group you can write a report for inclusion in the 2023-24 record. It can be brief! We need these at the office by the 29th April.

  • ► If you would like a table on the day please let the office know. One of the themes in the responses to our recent questionnaire is that people don't know what's going on in the life of the church. Here is the opportunity to talk about the things you are involved in, and maybe to recruit new people!

  • ► Make sure you are on the Electoral Roll (see below).

  • ► Consider standing for the PCM (the leadership body of APC, which meets roughly every other month). We have three spaces to fill this year.

  • ► Sign up for lunch and come on the day! We will start at 10:25 on 12th May for the Yearbook Service and you can leave at whatever time is right for you.

 

Booking for Lunch

Please book here for lunch so that we can cater accurately. The lunches are free, but donations are welcome. Booking for lunch is now live on MyChurchSuite, or you can use this online form. If you're having difficulty please call the church office and we'll help you to sign up.

 

Nominations

We will be electing 4 church wardens for the year ahead, and 3 people to serve on the PCM for 2024-2027. The nomination form (used for both purposes) is below. 

 

 

Electoral Roll

The electoral roll is available for inspection in the church, which is open for our Sunday morning service at 9.15am and for Wednesday Worship at 10.30am. It is also avsailable for inspection in the Church Centre, which is open weekdays in the morning, and on Sundays for our 1025 Centre Church service. If your details are not correct, or if you are not on the electoral roll please fill in the form below and let the church office have it. If you need a hard copy delivered to you please contact the church office. It is important that you are on this list if you consider yourself a member of APC.

 

 

Will there be a 09:15 service in the parish church that day?

Yes, and we'll be continuing with the series in Hebrews. You are welcome to come to that and the Yearbook Service at the Church Centre at 10:25 if you like!
