St John’s Weekly Bulletin – Sunday 11 March 2018

– two churchwardens, who have responsibility for the building and furniture of the church and who serve as the executive officers of the parish, including dealing with Work Health and Safety issues;

– a missions secretary, who deals with the support of missionary agencies (and who serves as a member of parish council); and

– five members of parish council. The first responsibility of parish council is to: assist the incumbent to lead the mission and ministry of the parish.

Please think carefully about the kind of people you would like to lead our mission and ministry. Our parish council is becoming a body which plans the mission and outreach of the church, and has focussed less on buildings and maintenance. We need people serving on parish council who are willing to plan, support and run the things that we believe God is calling us to.

Nomination forms are available at the front door of the church. If you believe that you know people who would serve the parish well in this way, please get their agreement and nominate them… and please attend the meeting on 18 March to elect them!“

Blessings, Murray
