The Parochial Church Council (PCC) Church Calendar Dates of PCC meetings 08/09 (All Thursday at 8pm) May 22 July 3 Sept 18 Nov 20 Jan 29 March 19 Annual Meeting Sunday March 29 09 at 11.30 am About the PCC The
PCC is the body of people, elected by the congregation or serving
"ex-officio", who work with the parish priest to care for the church
and further its mission. The PCC is elected each year at the
Annual Parochial Church Meeting, held during March or April. PCC
members are the representatives of the congregation. The PCC meets
approximately 6 times per year.
The PCC is the first of a series of bodies which govern the Church of England under our system of "synodical" government. "Synod"literally means "coming together" There are also Deanery synods, with representatives from each parish, covering small areas (Sevenoaks is our local Deanery), Diocesan synods, governing each Diocese (ours is Rochester) and the General synod, which passes legislation affecting the whole of the Church of England. In this way everyone can have a voice, and everyone can shape the church. You can find out more here. Our PCC at St Peter and St Paul consists of the following people: CHAIR The Revd.
