With the end of April approaching, it is the time of year when our parishes host their Annual Meetings*, sometimes known as the APCM. In line with Charity law, the churches report on the year previous and publish their accounts. Various officers are elected as well to serve in the coming year.
St Gabriel’s is not a parish in its own right and so can’t yet host its own APCM. For certain legal purposes, we come under St Mary’s West Malling and so St Gabriel’s APCM matters will be discussed at the St Mary’s APCM on Thursday 18th April at 7.30 p.m. in the Church Centre, West Malling.
If you attend worship at St Gabriel’s, please do consider this meeting a priority. Even if you can’t be present, do take the time to read the reports (provided on this website as downloads) so that you can review all that has taken place in the last year, see how we are doing financially and (hopefully) be encouraged by the many good things that have been happening.
On St Mary’s PCC, we are looking for someone to represent St Gabriel’s. PCC is a great opportunity to serve the church and to be a key part of the decision-making processes for our community. If you want to be a part of the key discussions affecting our future life, help to manage our building and finances, and get stuck in to seeing things happen, we would love to have you involved. Please consider standing.
