With the successful installation of broadband and wifi into church, our twice weekly livestreamed services at St Margaret’s have been far more reliable than in previous years. To further bolster and future-proof the parish online presence, the Digicomms Team appointed a company to provide our digital upgrade; we are still going through the process of applying for a faculty, which is taking some considerable time. They also continued to oversee and develop our parish social media, website and “A Church Near You” page … More Music and Digital Communications Report to the APCM: Jan – Dec 2023

It is traditional in the sermon on the day of the APCM to talk about the life of the church over the last year. Quite honestly, I simply don’t want to do that. We have suffered from bereavements – our beloved Deborah, and others as well and we have had to contend with practical problems in the shape of electric wiring and boilers. So many people have contended with illness, accidents and family issues and yet have continued to contribute to the life of the church. And the backdrop has been a country in political turmoil, a cost-of-living crisis and wars in Ukraine and now Sudan. Enough said. We have survived. We have in many ways got back to normal after covid. We can congratulate ourselves that we have had the strength and courage to persevere. Just staying afloat has been an achievement … More Abundant life
