PCC Business during the Year In common with the rest of the world, since March 2020 we have grown accustomed to distanced and on-line worship. Many of our group activities have been stopped or reduced and we have had to comply with new rules and guidelines. The APCM was eventually held in October. Since the initial lockdown the PCC have met both in-person and virtually. October We discussed finances, including the impact of the epidemic and lockdown and our Parish Share contribution. We agreed not to hold a Remembrance Service at the war memorial but to have a brief Act of Remembrance within our church service and to produce prayer resources for individuals. We discussed Christmas service provision. We agreed an updated Safeguarding policy which includes a mention of keeping a record of training undertaken. December (held on-line) In light of improved finances and a specific donation we agreed an increase in our 2021 Parish Share offer. We agreed a Working Paty to organise our charitable giving. We discussed church heating, new outside lighting and a possible handrail for the chancel step. We discussed safeguarding requirements. We heard encouraging reports from on-line Messy Church and services, and agreed to encourage people to use national provision for the Sunday after Christmas instead of holding our own service. We were sad to hear of the recent death of Maureen Stout who has done so much for the community, particularly the Parish Hall and the Brownies. February (held on-line) We approved the end-of-year accounts and agreed our charitable giving. We appointed a new Safeguarding Officer (Children and Young People) and a new administrator for Safeguarding. We agreed our domestic abuse policy. We discussed the Communications Group and the recently-vacated Administrator position, and appointed Alan Port as a representative to the Parish Hall committee. We discussed the possibility of having a defibrillator. We were sad to hear of the recent death of Dave Drinkwater, who has contributed to the church and the PCC for many years.
