Open Evening on the Future of Our Minster Family - Joint PCC
We’re entering an exciting new chapter in our Minster journey! After months of prayerful planning, a proposal is now in place to form a Joint Parochial Church Council (JPCC)—a move that will bring greater clarity, unity, and shared responsibility across our churches.
We had an Open Evening on the 10th May to help explain what this move is all about, give people a chance to ask questions, voice any concerns that may need addressing or thinking about.
Below are links to a the JPCC scheme as well as an explanatory note that basically lays it out WHAT is is and why we're wishing to make this move.
Should you have any questions that you feel haven't been raised or answered please contact
administrator@alcesterminster.org and your query will be passed to the relevant team to address.
