The St Ed’s Annual report for 2025 is attached. The document includes the Officers’ Reports to the 2026 Annual Parochial Church Meeting which is to be held at 7pm on Monday 19th May 2025.From 8.00pm we will have a speaker on Eco Church. A few words, below, from Rev Paul to set the context for the report.We always write these reports in the weeks leading to Holy Week and Easter. As we come to reflect again on Jesus’ sacrifice for us, and the most testing as well as the most triumphant time of Jesus’ complete faithfulness to us, these reports come in a time of ever increasing turmoil in the world. The Lord is so good to us, even if we are surrounded by confusion. Even when turmoil, the unexpected and the unknown becomes part of our daily lives. The Lord’s love is steadfast.In Isaiah 43 : 19 the Lord says, “I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” Jesus Resurrection is the fulfilment of these words, overcoming the slavery of sin and the finality of death. Jesus has the victory through love. Through His sheer commitment to us. Through His incredible grace. The Lord’s words are echoed in Revelation 21 : 5, “Behold I am making all things new”. Fulfilled in Jesus. Our Saviour. Our redeemer. Our hope and our Friend.As we go forward, I believe we should be encouraged. I also believe we should hold each other up in prayer and encourage one another.
