STAFFING ROTAS - are available for collection on the unity by the north door in church.
LENT COURSE - On Wednesday at 2.00pm & 7.45pm there will be a talk & discussion in the hall: ‘Fruit of the Spirit’. The evening session begins with Compline in church at 7.15pm
EXPERIMENTAL RE-LOCATION OF CHOIR - Some of the seating towards the back of the north side of the nave will be reserved for the Choir on Sunday 28th and 7th March. The background to this experiment is set out in the February edition of Seasight. Hopefully we can count on the kind co-operation and goodwill of those who normally occupy pews in that part of the church being prepared to sit elsewhere in the nave, in the aisles or – in the chancel, where the choir stalls would be available in the happy event of a full church. Members of the Music Committee will provide feedback sheets for your comments which will be considered as part of the reordering process. ZA
CHURCH SPRING CLEAN - Friday 12th and Saturday 13th March - (High level cleaning will be done on the Friday). On Saturday between 9.15 - 12 noon we will be doing the "low" cleaning - everyone is welcome to join in! Churchwardens
ELECTORAL ROLL REVISION - It is time for the annual revision of the Electoral Roll. Between 9th and 23rd March the Roll is displayed in Church (on table near North door). Please check your entry and make any amendments necessary. Anyone not on the Roll is invited to fill in a form (see box to left of north door) and send it to me by 3rd April at the latest. After this no further changes may be made until after the APCM.The revised Roll will then be placed in Church from 4th April before being presented to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting on 20th April. Enquiries to Electoral Roll Officer: Catherine Gleadow, 15 Lundy Close, Littlehampton, BN17 6NX. (01903 723709 or gleadow@hotmail.com)
From the Treasurer - our finances for 2010. Now that we are well and truly into 2010, we need to try to foresee how the PCC’s finances will look by the end of this year. This financial ‘projection’ will take up some of the time of the PCC’s Giving & Stewardship Group which meets on Monday next, 8th March. Conclusions will be shared with PCC members at the next PCC meeting on 16th March and the outcome will be publicised to the church membership. John Hawkins
