Sadly since our last APCM we have lost two members of our church both on the same night. Martin Barnwell who had been
worshipping with us for a few years and our LLM Mike Bridges. I have included Mike in this report because he contributed so much
during this year.
Achievements and Performance
After Rev Alaslair Wood left early last year we are now in the middle of an Interregnum which has proved lo be a very steep learning
curve for all concerned. We not only had lo try and understand a rather confusing computer system but also how lo organise a church
with all the different services. We would like to thank all the priests who have taken services during the year and given us so much
variety and especially Rev Liz Gifford who is also taking the Baptism Services.
Despite not having a resident vicar Christmas at st John's was busy as usual. Thanks to Liz and Mike we had Nine Lessons and
Carols plus Midnight Mass and a Christmas Day Service. We also a capacity Christingle Servi￿ Christmas Eve afternoon taken by
Mike and for the first time did not use real candles so there was no danger of anyone catching fire. The plastic one lit up and everyone
approved of them.
We also managed our first Easter without a vicar with a number of services.
Soup run
We continue to support the soup run, providing food and hol drinks lo homeless and needy people. We are al present only covering
two Saturday evenings a month as we now only have teams.
Food Bank
The much needed donations for Storehouse are gratefully re￿IVed and collected in our Lady Chapel and the Church Hall. We need a
volunteer lo lake the donations to the Food Bank please. It does not have lo be the same. person every time
Chat Café
A warm welcome for our regular visitors who come, and those yel to I
Mondays and Wednesdays fjoam lo 11'.30 am
Parish Centre
The parish centre continues to host both fundraising and income events.
Among them were the Souvenir Auction with fish & chip supper, and of course our quiz night.
Our regular lettings continue with a number of local organisalions now using the hall regularly plus occasional Baptism and private party
The local authority holds meetings, and also hires the hall for election days.
