JEVINGTON PCC

We had another both fun and highly productive PCC meeting. Particular encouragements: (1) subject to a faculty if necessary and brief further testing, the PCC decided to install an eco-toilet outside the rear of the church building (2) also approved purchase of a disabled ramp for the front step (3) took forward plans to re-start the Sunday School soon (4) agreed collectively to do together the new "Life Explored" course as a trial run for inviting others (5) initiated plans for the harvest lunch(6) was delighted to hear projected voluntary giving is likely to be up about 16.8% this year and that the annual deficit should reduce from c£4,000 last year to c£1,250 this (7) voted in principle to support Kip and Rachel financially for five years when they return to Kenya (David and Kip left the room for this discussion due to potential conflicts of interest). More challengingly, we were reminded in the light of our Bible reading including Hebrews 10v24-25 that our "one thing" for Jevington this year is to "encourage those who come to Jevington only once, twice or even three times a month to try and come (illness, holidays, work schedules permitting!) where possible every week, since this would greatly strengthen the church and its future," and that there is still some way, given current attendance patterns, to go on this yet. But all in all a great meeting! David
