Regular public worship, group meetings, visits to sections of the community, pastoral care of parishioners, baptisms, weddings and funerals.
Achievements and Performance
The Parish Church has been engaged during 2024 in the provision of worship opportunities for parishioners and others resident outside the area. These include weekly Sunday morning services and monthly afternoon and evening services. The mission of the church has been expressed through these services but also through a weekly mid-week Communion service and through visits to schools by a team of volunteers, using Open the Book, our Children’s and Families’ Worker and the Director of Music.
Communication with parishioners has been maintained by a weekly bulletin sent by email and a monthly hand delivered paper bulletin to those without an email facility. Ministry to the public has focussed on a monthly Natter session for elderly residents in the local village hall and on a weekly Parent and Toddler group in the same premises. A youth group has met twice a month, and a fellowship group has met monthly. Through these events and activities, people have been able to pray and to worship, to gain increased knowledge of the Christian faith and to experience care and fellowship.
