News from the Pews - 15 May 2025
Greetings all!
Lots to flag up this week, including our Annual Parochial Church Meeting ('APCM' ie AGM) and Meeting to Elect Church Wardens which will be next Thursday 22 May in St Andrew's Church, beginning at 7.30pm. .
We need more PCC (ie church council) members! If you've been on the church's electoral roll of the parish for at least 6 months, you're eligible. Please collect a nomination form from the back of church and give it to me or to a church warden on or before the meeting. If you're interested and would like to find out more, please ask. PCC members are all required to have a DBS check (which Carol Weyman our Parish Safeguarding Officer will kindly sort out for you asap after the APCM). If you're not on the church's electoral roll and would like to be, please contact Lynne Webb our electoral roll officer asap webb.lynne@gmail.com. Thank you
Closer at hand, this coming weekend...
on Saturday (17th) we'll have a church and churchyard clear-up from 10.30am - 12 noon. Amongst other jobs needing tackling, there are cobwebs everywhere! If you're free to lend a hand, please come along.
on Sunday (18th) there's a concert in church at 3pm.
Looking ahead, Soham Carnival is on Sunday 25 May. We'll have a bric a brac ++ stall in the churchyard that afternoon, so if you have any good quality items to contribute to it, please bring them along to church this Sunday or next. Please note we can't sell alcohol - but anything else would be great (no junk though, please, as anything left over will need to be stored in my vicarage until the next time, and I could do without additional clutter! Thank you!). If you're able to do a stint on the stall, please let Ian Hill know Ian@temptasyson.co.uk
And finally: there'll be a Communion service in the library at Millbrook House on Monday next week (19 May) at 10.30am. Everyone is welcome, including non-residents.
That's all folks!
