your everyday life. The Church of England website has a selection

waking with a cup of tea, taking time over breakfast, walking to
school, waiting for a bus to work or wherever your day is about to
take you.

Important Role
To Fill!
We still have a vacancy for a PCC secretary for
Clymping
Clymping PCC needs someone to take
minutes at meetings and coordinate agendas and annual reports. They
are vital roles in the life of the parishes and we need to fill
these roles. PCC’s meet every other month, plus occasional standing
committees in between. We have a very efficient system working and
our outgoing PCC Secretary (who is retiring) will be happy to
instruct the new secretary. Please consider if you might have the
skills we need! Contact Richard for more details
