… in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Romans 12:5
Our Annual Church Meeting 2025 (APCM)
is on Sunday 11th May at 10.45am at St Luke's Church, Thurnby. It will be part of a joint service (no 8.45am service) where we will hear encouragements from the previous year, receive and respond to various reports, worship and pray together, and elect people to various roles.
There will be a simple soup and bread lunch at Cafe Fifty Five after.
In order to vote at our APCM or stand for any of the roles involved you will need to sign up to be on the Electoral Roll. Even if you have been on the Electoral Roll before, this is a year where everyone has to sign up.
We're also asking everyone to fill in a Contact Form so that we have your most up to date details.
Below is an outline of some of the different roles and where the opportunities to serve are.
Five things for you to do:
1. Save the APCM date – Sunday 11th May, 10.45am, St Luke’s.
2. Sign up for lunch at Café Fifty Five after the APCM.
3. Join the Electoral Roll by Friday 25th April (paper form or online).
4. Update your contact details (paper form or online)
5. Pray about standing for a role now, or in the future.
PCC ROLES
PCC Member
We are looking for three people to join the PCC. The PCC shares leadership with the Vicar to enable the mission and ministry of our churches (St Luke’s, St Mary’s, Stoughton, and Living Hope, our church plant in Thurmaston). The PCC oversees the life of the churches, stewards our building and finances, enables us to meet our responsibilities (as charity trustees, safeguarding, employment), and contributes to the wider life of the Church of England. The PCC also appoints directors for Café Fifty Five. In between PCC meetings the Finance and Standing Committee (Clergy, Wardens, Treasurer, PCC Secretary) meet to manage the day-to-day governance and decision making in the church. To be on the PCC you need to be: -a baptised follower of Jesus Christ and an active part of church life, -16+ years old, -have been on the Electoral Roll for at least six months (if this would prevent you, the PCC is able to co-opt those who might be otherwise suitable), supportive of the mission and ministry of the church and it’s doctrine and practices.
