St Cuthbert’s PCC are in the process of reviewing what the church currently does and how we can best use our time and energies for the next few years. The PCC has identified six groups of people to focus on :
1st Those who enjoy BCP services
2nd People who want Holy Communion
3rd Adults in the 30-40 year age group
4th Non-attending villagers (with faith)
5th Wedding and baptism families
6th Choral element and young singers
The PCC is now considering what we are doing at present that focuses upon these areas of our church life and how we might improve what we do in order to identify desirable outcomes for each of the identified focus areas. It would be good to take plenty of people’s thoughts into account, so please do discuss this with PCC members before the next PCC meeting on 24th November
