What is an Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting or APCM (Annual Parochial Church Meeting) dates back to 1919 and is an important meeting in the life of all churches. The Annual meeting is important for the whole church. It is the opportunity for members of the congregation to elect the people they want to serve as leaders in the church and to ask any questions about the state of the church finances, building and outreach etc.

On these Sundays, Holy Communion will be available at the sister church in our Benefice St Anne's church, Fence 11am.
