The new PPC, Parish Pastoral Council, met for the first time this week and was very well attended. We discussed the purpose and structure of the PPC. The next meeting will take place in January. We are gradually finding our way and the door is still open for anyone who feels they want to contribute. There will be more detail on the Parish Website.

SYLLABUS
ST ANNE'S GUILD
St Anne’s Guild continues to thrive after seventy-seven years since being established on 17th February 1947, when 36 women met to form a Women’s Social Guild. Today membership remains buoyant at around 45 women and new members are always welcome. We start and end with prayers to our Patron, St. Anne, and then enjoy the syllabus topic of the day. During the year, members generously support donations to local charities. Come & join us on the first and third Tuesday of the month (September - April). Make New Friends …. Have Fun …. All Women are Welcome!”
