The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules.
All Chur¢h attendees are encouraged to register on the electoral Roll and stand for election to

Objectives and activities
St Wstan's PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the Vicar, in promoting in the
ecdesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, and
ecumenical. It also has Maintenan￿ responsibilities for the Church and graveyard.
Church Attendance
There are 96 (106) parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, 28 (32) of whom are not
resident within the parish. The average weekly attendance, counted during October was
64 (57), Easter communicants were 64 (80) and approximate 245 (180) people attended
services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. During 2023 there We￿ 8 baptisms, 5
weddings and 17 funerals including burial of ashes, held in St Wstan's.
Revlew of the Year
The fvll PCC met six times during the year wrth an average attendance of 68%. A brief
extraordinary meeting was held on 5th June to approve the Parish Profile which had been
written as part of the process for finding a new Vicar for the benefi￿. Six meetings of the
Standing Committee were also held. Meetings were held in either St Wystan's Church or the
British Legion.
Nick Parish was with us for an extended period during the year up until 21 $1.
August. His focus was mainly on mission within the benefi￿. Meri Braziel completed her
first year of Readerfs Training during the year and the PGC unanimously passed her
application to continue for a second year.
Memorial Plaques set into Memorial Garden must now be 16° square rather than 18° as
previously. Adjustments may need to be made to the positioning of ashes internments as
the live cable for the floodlighting runs under the area and needs to be avoid.
We have been given a Digital Giving Device by the Di0￿se. This is now instslled in
church near the door so that those who wish to make a card donation or to pay for
something in church can now do so.
A new Vicar was appointed to the Benefice in November and will be installed on Tuesday
19th March 2024 in St Wstan's Ghurch. He is Revd. Stephen Short and is corning to us
from Melboume Parish. He will continue to live in me1￿uMe with his family.
The Diocese are undertaking a review of all its glebe land, church house and larger
parsonages, including ours here, in Repton this work will be carried out by Savills, The
di0￿Se is still deciding on the future of the vicarage in Repton.
