CHURCH BULLETINS

From St Mary’s PCC
For nearly two years the Covid pandemic has affected everyone, changing how we interact with families and friends. How we meet and greet each other. Where and who we can meet up. We are all still mindful that even though there is a vaccine to combat Covid the virus is still with us. Apart from how each of us, as individuals, have been affected many businesses, both large and small, have had financial hardships with some not being able to carry on. St. Mary’s church was no different to the Covid impact. For many months there were no services, no fund raising but still bills to pay. Fortunately we now have two services a month and before Christmas had the tree festival and concert. Unfortunately, having missed out on nearly 2 years of fund raising we have very little financial reserves. We cannot meet our monthly outgoings. How to help? Publicise and support our future fund raising activities. Maybe increase your church giving; just imagine everyone giving £10 per service what a vast difference that would make! The PCC are looking to cut down on our monthly expenditure. Is anyone prepared to do our financial book-keeping? Not too onerous a job which would save us £140 per month. Give it some deep thought.
Your Church needs you. Contact Nigel on 01983 406817.

Vicar's Blog
This week has been full of Deanery business and meetings. The reality is that the Diocese needs to hold 14 vacancies for the next few years, so vicars all over the island are not being automatically replaced should they leave. The situation is really serious and it is absolutely clear that the traditional models of ministry need to change. This will need all our resourcefulness and creativity, so please pray for those communities that are in vacancy, and for the inspiration to live and serve in the churches you attend.
God Bless,
Ali
