the incumbent, the Reverend Kylie Hodgins,
in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the
whole mission of the Church, pastoral,
evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The
PCC is also specifically responsible for the
maintenance of the Church Hall in The
Crescent, Bricket Wood.| |Summary of the main

activities, projects or

week and at other times during the year to
meet the needs of the church and the wider
community. Worship is generally more in
the open evangelical tradition and open to
renewal.
A mid-week liturgical service draws a small
congregation, mostly of retired people.
Throughout the liturgical year we continue
to serve the community at large by having a
number of additional services, e.g. the
Senior Citizens Services, Bereavement
service, the Mount Pleasant Lane School
Carol service, and Messy Church.| |Statement confirming
