Vacancy update - the Parish Profile The profile writing group are making good progress. In order to produce a visually interesting profile they

need some more photographs to show our new Rector what our church and parish look like. As

people from both the 8.30am and 10.30am congregations attend the breakfasts between

services, the group would like as many people as possible to attend next Sunday 20

th January, so that

pictures can be taken of those who are happy to be photographed.

Thank you to everyone who has given their views on what you value at Christ Church, and the direction you would like us to take in the future as we grow

throughout the Vacancy and beyond. All this information is being collated and used to shape the

profile. In addition, the group would like to undertake a ‘SWOT analysis’ of what everyone thinks the

Strengths and Weaknesses of Christ Church are, what Opportunities we have as a church and any

perceived Threats these may encounter.

Card Table Stella Woolvin would like to thank all those

who made purchases from the card table at the back

of church during 2018. I have asked that the £190 raised be given to the Accessible Church toilet
