New chairs for St Cedd's

In January, we purchased new chairs for St Cedd's church to replace the original chairs which were installed when the Church was built in 1955. An appeal to raise money for the new chairs was launched in 2005, St Cedd's 50th anniversary year, and the PCC placed the order for the new chairs in late 2007.

The purchase of the new chairs followed the internal redecoration of the church. The picture (right) shows the new chairs installed in the newly redecorated church!

Confirmation Service - Sunday 17th February

On Sunday 17th February we hosted a Confirmation Service for members of our congregation and neighbouring churches, at St Mary's Church North Stifford. Four members of our church fellowship were confirmed: Avril Frampton, Peter Stephens - who is the drummer in our worship band, Revelation, Maureen Sills and Sam Castell-Finegold.

The picture (left) shows the confirmees cutting a cake made specially by Michelle Wyatt, with Laurie Green, Bishop of Bradwell.  (Apologies to Avril who is hidden behind the bishop!)

Annual Meeting

Our Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) will be held on Sunday 20th April, immediately after the morning service at St Cedd's - ie at approximately 11.30am. There will be no morning service at St Mary's on that Sunday.

The APCM provides members of the church with an opportunity to hear reports and raise questions on church finance and administration. It is also the occasion when we elect churchwardens and members of the PCC.
