Parish News

Here is the news:

• We're going to get a curate. Only two parishes in Coventry get one and we were number six on the list. No, I don't understand it either.

• I'm going to be on the PCC. I told them I was not sure this was a good idea, and as a result they decided not to elect me at the AGM (which one would think would be the most sensible way to do it, given that it was only last week and they asked me ages ago - but no, that would be a bit too obvious) and I'm going to be co-opted later. I think that means that everyone knows I've been brought onto it under duress.

• At the AGM it appears that everyone is completely knackered, having spent about a year raising money for a new boiler that subsequently only needed to be turned on about twice. It seems that there is likely to be more activity this year given the increase in attendees at services, but there could be a bit of a problem with having enough pairs of hands (see 'knackered' comment above).
  

• We found a bit of money knocking about behind the sofa for youthwork. Now we just need to find some youth to work on. I'm also going to be on the youth subcommittee. So. Looks like we'll be having some subsidised trips to the icehockey...
