Parish Pastoral Council
The Parish Pastoral Council was reconstituted in 1995. It meets three times a year with an additional Annual General Meeting in October. Its main responsibility is to ensure that the Mission Statement regarding our Parish's Pastoral role and its Outreach are faithfully observed. The P.P.C. oversees the work done by the various ministries and committees.
The P.P.C. forms the links with the diocesan and deanery organizations and other churches. The P.P.C. spearheads new projects in the Parish and introduces changes affecting the whole Parish Community.
Finance Committee
The Parish Finances are managed by an accountant and a small Finance Committee. This Committee helps in the running of the Covenant Scheme. At the beginning of the financial year an appeal is made to join the scheme. The scheme raises over £8000, which is approximately the equivalent of what our Parish has to pay towards the A.D.F. Diocesan Development Fund for schools.
The Parish 200 Club brings another £1300 p.a.
The finance committee also handles monies from fairs and fetes.
