Church Members’ Meeting – Mon 17th Jan
The Church Members’ Meeting will commence at 8pm this coming Monday in person at Priory Street. At the meeting we will be voting on four leadership positions and the SPOT team will give us an important update regarding future pastoral oversight. Can we encourage you to attend if you are part of our fellowship as this is a key opportunity for you to be informed, vote on and pray for issues that effect the life of our church. Agendas and the minutes of the previous meeting will be available to take on Sunday morning. You are asked to take a lateral flow test before you attend and to wear a mask during the meeting.

Offerings
Over these last two years, especially when we weren’t able to meet in person, many of you have chosen to give your offerings to the church via online banking. We appreciate that this method doesn’t suit everyone and that some prefer to put their gifts into the offering box at a Sunday or Wednesday service. We have two packs of blue offering envelopes available for use in 2022 – the packs comprise envelopes that are dated for each Sunday of the year, to help you incorporate giving into your regular worship. Please contact Ruth in the church office if you would like to receive one of these packs.
Tech Tales – update by Ben R
Right now we’re in the middle of refreshing some of the tech and PA equipment that we use for services and other events. New radio mics are in use and you may have noticed a new computer up on the balcony. This is part of a plan to remove the projection of song words out of the rather complex streaming set-up and make it more accessible to all congregation members. We will be replacing the old software we used for projection with OpenLP which operates in a very similar fashion but has a number of advantages. We will be running OpenLP training early in February, details and dates to follow. We would like to encourage you to serve your congregation by attending the training and volunteering to operate the word projection for their service.
