AGM 2024

Last Tuesday we held our AGM and heard about our activities in 2023. And indeed, Chaplain Debbie looked back over her 17 years of ministry here at Christ Church.
We were also sad to hear her announce her retirement at the end of November this year; she will be missed, but as she said, the church will continue, and we are grateful for all she has done.
All the reports, including the chaplain's report, will be available on our website next week so look out for the link or check the website.
