The APCM was held on 25th May 2025 at St James the Great, Hindpool, Barrow-in-Furness
The Agenda was:
The Annual Vestry Meeting
The Annual Parochial Church Meeting
The secretary’s report is available to read here and the chairman’s report is available to read here
The treasurer’s report is available on request.
We thank everyone for their support.
The church is planning involvement for the school at church in the morning, and we are also planning a VE Day garden party for the afternoon.
There will be a civic service to commemorate VE Day at 5.30pm on Thursday 8th May backed by Barrow Town Council, with civic dignitaries and representatives of the armed forces – air, sea and land. We believe there will be a parade from the town hall to the church where they will be welcomed by the bells as they approach the church.
Finally to follow the service the bells will ring out again for a quarter peal (about 1 hour) that is part of the Nationwide celebrations for the end of the war in Europe (VE Day Bellringing at 6.30pm).
Last week we were delighted to welcome Bishop Rob for the Confirmations of Paula and Hallie.
Please remember them in your prayers as they continue their journey of faith.
Everybody welcome! Please come along and enjoy a service with all your favourite Christmas carols.
