Teamwork at St. Bartholomew's

The PCC sub committees were set up several years ago as an action plan for parish development, arising from our parish vision. These groups are known to us as our 'Vision Groups'. They meet regularly and report back to the PCC on their progress.

Walls and Within
This group is concerned with the care, maintenance and development of the church building, considering the needs and activities of the church community. Health and safety and security issues are discussed.
For more details contact the Churchwardens

Wealth
The wealth group monitors the PCC finances, the planned giving scheme and gift aid.
For more details contact Thomas Slinger

Wisdom
The wisdom group aims to develop opportunities for growth in the Christian faith for all ages, encouraging people to develop themselves through study and reflection on the Christian faith. The group meets to discuss how we can make study groups or courses available to the people in our parish.

We hope to renew our vision in the coming year as we work our way through the Bishop's Mission Action Plan (MAP).

 

Welfare
The vicar and the pastoral visiting team make up this group. The group is concerned with developing the pastoral ministry in the church, supporting the bereaved, the sick, the lonely, young families, newcomers and any others who need our support. Together the group members have studied books on listening, the healing ministry and are currently working through a book on bereavement.
For more details contact the Vicar or Pastoral Assistant

Communications
This group looks at different aspects of church communications, external, internal, the media, the parish magazine, newsletters, notices, and much more. All these are part of how the church presents itself, proclaims its beliefs and communicates about being the people of God.
