Structure, Governance and Management

The method of appointment of PCC members to the PCC is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Elections for all posts take place annually with the exception of the Deanery Synod Representatives, who are elected every three years. All church attendees are invited to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.

The PCC has met 10 times since its election in July 2022, usually every 6 to 8 weeks but with occasional emergency meetings after the Sunday service if an issue needs to be discussed urgently. The members of the united PCC continue to learn a lot from working together, both within the context of the PCC and in wider church life, modelling for Parishioners our new approach to the combined Parish. During this first year of the new Parish the focus has been on embedding the policies and practices needed to help the Parish run smoothly. In addition to dealing with day-today business and maintenance issues, the PCC meetings are starting to consider the future mission of the combined Parish and how we can best serve the people in our Parish. In September an Awayday at the Royal Foundation of St Katharine’s was well attended by PCC members. During that day our vision and working arrangements for the new Parish were discussed under the guidance of Fr Nigel Taylor and members found the day to be very constructive. In March we were delighted to welcome the Bishop of Edmonton to the Parish to bless the union of the 2 parishes as part of his farewell Diocesan Pilgrimage.

Pastoral Ofces

The ministry of the parish also extends to many people on an occasional basis. Here are last year’s figures.

Ofce	St Mark’s (SM) and St Stephen’s (SS)
Baptism	5 (SM=1, SS=4)
Marriages	9 (SS)
Confrmation	15 (SS)
Funerals Including Interment of Ashes	6 (SS)

Conclusion

The PCC looks forward to consolidating what we have achieved in this inaugural year as a single Parish. Members are grateful for the support of other Parishioners in their work and will continue to rely on their help as we work to put our Mission Action Plan in place. Finally, on behalf of the Parish I would like to express appreciation for the contribution of those who will now be stepping down from their roles and we thank them for all their work while they have been on the PCC.

Approved by the PCC and signed on their behalf by Revd Prebendary Dr Amatu Christian Iwuagwu
