PCC Update Meeting 16th May 2017

At the first meeting after the Annual Meeting the PCC has to elect people to various roles for the coming year. Gaynor and Stephen Bowley were elected to continue as Safeguarding links, Stephen Bowley was also elected to continue as PCC secretary and Fay Rumley was elected as Lay Chair of the PCC. Brian Parker was elected as Treasurer; Gordon Kirkbride was elected Treasurer Emeritus as he now wishes to stand down over the next year from this role.

The PCC discussed arrangements as we did not elect wardens at the APCM. Fay Rumley offered to stand for a year as warden. Tim Skelton, Rosa Waddingham and Ruth Lazell have offered as well to take on other parts of the warden role.

It was agreed to develop the role of welcomer/stewards to include taking collection and counting attendance. Training will be given.

The PCC heard the sorry news that the boiler needed replacing under the large hall. A plan is being formed to do this.

The PCC of St John’s invite you to help us raise funds for the life and work of the church by using something called ‘easyfundraising’ while doing your normal internet shopping. Easyfundraising is a website or a shop front for shopping on the internet.

Once you have registered you go on to this website and then to the internet shopping site you want. If you make a purchase the internet shop donates a small amount to the cause you opt to fundraise for. It doesn’t cost you anything and St John’s can benefit from it. The website lets you know how much will be donated to St John’s Church. The website does not take any bank details or the like and has helped many groups to gain some extra funds.

Here's what you need to do:

Step 1 – go to www.easyfundraising.org.uk and register your name and email address

Step - 2 pick your cause – ‘St John’s Church Long Eaton’

Step 3 – do your shopping using the website as a shop front to go through

Step 4 – See the money raised for St John’s Church

May be you don’t use internet shopping but you may know some who does – ask them to join in and raise funds for St John’s Church.
