David Cheetham said that he was willing to stand as PCC treasurer. He was proposed for this post by SP, seconded by CJ. All were in favour, and he was declared elected. The PCC thanked him for taking this on so soon after he had joined the PCC.
Stanley's request was discussed at the DAC on 17th May.
ACTION: SP will reply to the DAC in time for the next DAC meeting.
The materials are being revised, and feedback requesed.
ACTION: All to look at Church Army website (http://www.churcharmy.org.uk/ChurchArmy/web/site/ChurchArmy/SupportUs/HelpForParishes/Posada.asp) and feed back to RD.
i.
Special duties:
ACTION:
Every office holder is asked to write down their own job description:
· Cleaning/coffee rota: TH
· Celebrant: SP
· Churchwarden: RD & TO
· Treasurer: WC (CG to ask)
· Covenant secretary: JC (CG to ask)
· Organist: Gordon Jeff (CJ to ask)
ii. Informal worship on the 1st of the month.
· This had received a favourable response
· DC: the Iona service is not suitable for great festivals (this was agreed- it was due to a confusion that it had been used for Easter).
· The 2nd Saturday prayer meeting was rather lightly attended. The next will be on 10th June, 8-9 am in Axbridge.
· There will be a skittles match on the 21st July- tickets are available.
· The next pulpit exchange is in November.
· Clergy and readers meet every Thursday at 9.
The new roof leaks! Rain is
dripping through the rope holes (and has always done so). How are they secured
normally?
ACTION: RD will inform builder.
We are short of 1 cruet.
ACTION: we should look out for a new one.
(CJ). Over
£2000 has been received from the IR and paid in. There were also 2 cheques for
a total of £9,600 from English Heritage. There are 2 bills and some money in
the safe.
Wendy will do a had-over to DC. We also need to authorise his signature for church accounts. It would be a good idea to have a fifth signatory.
ACTION: CG to ask Wendy on both counts.
(VS absent).
SP raised the subject of Richard Jenner, a needy member of the community whom we are perhaps not doing enough to help. Suggestion: invite him to church? NB. he comes anyway! Perhaps we simply need to make sure that we always have some refreshments for him or other occasional visitors.
In view of the font and thefts of valuable items from other churches, it was agreed that we would keep the church closed as a temporary measure.
Next PCC meeting: Monday 26th June at 7:30 in the church.
Following meeting: Monday 31st July at 7:30 in the church.
The meeting was closed with the Grace.
