Snippets from the PCC Meeting – 15th July 2025
Among the matters discussed at the PCC meeting on 15th July were:
Fete
The Fete, which was held at the beginning of July was very successful, raising more than £6,000. We are most grateful to all who helped to make it such a success but special thanks are due to Keith and Alix for all their hard work and a presentation was made to them at the service on 27th July.
Concerts
The concert by the Much Wenlock Male Voice Choir on July 12 was very enjoyable; 81 tickets were sold and the profit of just over £1,000 will be divided between the church, the Well Foodbank and the Ukraine Refugee Centre.
As part of the Scarecrow Festival there will be another concert in church. On Saturday 27th September the Staffordshire Brass Band will be performing Sounds of Brass. The profit from that concert will be shared equally between two charities: Midland Freewheelers Blood Bikes and Village by Village. Tickets are available from Alan Smith.
Hymns and Pimm’s
We are holding an event on Saturday 6th September at 4 pm in church called Hymns and Pimm’s. This is not a service nor a fund raising event. We hope it will attract lots of people, including those who might not otherwise come into church and will be an opportunity for people to sing hymns they like or may have sung at school.
Interregnum
This was the last PCC meeting before the Rev Merry Smith was to be inducted as our new Vicar. We are looking forward to a new chapter in the church’s life as we are able to promote in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical, in cooperation with our incumbent.
PCC members
The members of the PCC are now: Rev Merry Smith (Vicar), Philip Sims (vice chairman), Tony Ainsworth, lain Coleman, Milly Colin-Stokes, Geoffrey Dann, Barbara Dias, Henry lbberson, Steve Jones, Clive Pendrell, Alan Smith, Dorothy Steel, Graham Tritton and Tracey Williams.
