Church Opening As we are back in lockdown there are no services planned for February in St John's Church. PCC Meeting The PCC will meet at 7pm on February 17th February for the pre-APCM meeting at which the accounts are presented for approval ready to present at the APCM. Notices of the APCM and revision of the electoral roll will appear in the March magazine. Internet Services For those of you able to access internet there is a range of services around the area:- Bible Book Club The Uttoxeter Area of Parishes is starting a monthly Bible Book Club, beginning this month on Wednesday 20th January at 7.30pm, and run by Lesley White. It will initially be on ZOOM so if you would like to join in please contact Lesley on uttoxeterareaparish@outlook.com or 07878 561384, and she will send you the link. I encourage you to give it a go! This month we will be looking at Galatians. Bishop's Certificate (Living Faith) The Bishop's Certificate is a 25 session group course that explores faith and Bible. We started a group last January but have not been able to meet since, so rather than skip a year I thought we could put on some catch-ups and then hope to start as a bigger group in September (or even before - let's see). If anyone is interested in trying the BC (Living Faith) course, please get in touch with Joe Cant. Then plan would be to do the seven or so catch-ups in June/July, if circumstances allow. Getting prepared Just because we have restrictions doesn't mean that some training can't happen. I have had some interest in training to take Home Communion to people in their own homes and, although that isn't possible at the moment, it might be possible to put on some Home Communion training online over the next few months so that people can hit the ground running later in the year. Again, if you are interested just get in touch with Joe. Flowers & Reading If you would help with flowers or help to read at church please speck to church wardens or Isabel Wilson. OPEN THE BOOK Open the book is bibles stories which are delivered to St Peters School and Talbot First School Kingstone if you wish to help with this valuable work please speak to Isabel Wilson or Val Laflin 01889 500547. Deanery Training Programme Uttoxeter Deanery Training Programme is available please see leaflets within church or speak to Lesley White for more information. Scrap Book It is important to note what we are doing at church and record events to show others, so we have started a scrap book of services and events we have completed, if everyone wishes to put photos in the book please bring to church. Electoral Roll This year we have 48 members on the Electoral Roll if any one would like further information about or wish to join the Electoral roll please speck to Linda Beech on 01283 820209.
