Message from Rev'd. Rachel Noël - I'm sad to have to advise you that the church is facing financial challenges, and the PCC are having to make some difficult decisions. The PCC have been in discussion with the Diocese of Winchester regarding our financial situation, and are working on plans to address our income and expenditure to find a viable, sustainable way forward.
Sadly, as a result of this work, we are not currently in the financial position to be able to afford a parish administrator, and have therefore had to make this position redundant. Jen has now finished in her role here as Parish Administrator on Friday 16th December. The churchwardens and Rachel are working with others on plans for how we cover the work that is required. Rachel Preston has agreed to put together the content for Nevertheless each week, if you would like to include any notices on it, or be added to the distribution list, please contact Rachel directly, or use the email address admin@stjamespokesdown.co.uk, or leave a voicemail on the church phone: 01202 434460.
