1. Paul opened the meeting and welcomed all present.
2. After an opening prayer read together the team reflected on St Paul's first letter to the Corinthians 12:3-7, 12-13.
3. The minutes of the last meeting were approved
4. Team meeting with Parish groups: Wanda confirmed that the Hall had been
booked for Wednesday 16 June. Bill
Drake went through the list of people that he and Ann had put together and adjustments
were made to it. Bill agreed
to send out personal invitations to all concerned as soon as possible to give
invitees as much notice as possible.
The meeting is to start at 7.30pm with cheese and wine. Kath agreed to contact
Joe Waters about ordering the
wine. Time was spent discussing the potential items that should be included
in the agenda which will include a session
by Bill Cookson who will talk about about the Diocesan Protection Process, an
explanation of the role of the PDT in co-ordinating and communicating with all
the parish groups, and an explanation of progress so far. (Wanda agreed to prepare
a "job description" for the PDT before the 16th.). There will also
be discussion about ways of keeping the whole parish informed about the activities
of all the groups in the parish.
5. Diocesan Protection Process: Bill Cookson provided the Team with an overview
of the Process & Fr Aidan thanked
him for explaining it so well.
6. Parish Group Responsibilities List: This was reviewed but a number of gaps
still appeared. It was decided to leave
further discussion on this and any actions we need to take until after the Parish
groups meeting on June 16.
7. Census: Kath gave a progress report. The census has been approved by all
the churches except the White Church
as the minister did not attend the last 5 Churches in Ansdell meeting. Once
a Freepost licence has been obtained and
the Census forms have been printed distribution can be arranged.
8. Skills audit: This will be taken forward by Bernard, Paul and Edwina. They
will keep the Team informed of their
progress.
9. Welcome Cards: Kath passed the proposed card round the Team. It was agreed
that a print run should be arranged.
Kath agreed to liaise with Mike Ormond (the designer of the Card) about the
printing. The Welcome Card consists of
a lovely picture of the Church surrounded by the Parish Logo with information
about the Parish on a separate insert.
10. Bereavement Counselling: Wanda reported back on the meeting she had with
Fr Aidan and Kath Hallion. It is
hoped to establish a small team that will undertake bereavement counselling
for the Parish. More planning was
needed to identify how this important work should be taken forward and Wanda
agreed to keep the Team informed
of progress.
11. Feedback from Parishioners: There is concern that cars are being parked
over the gateways to the Church
restricting emergency service access. Bernard agreed to place an appropriate
notice in the bulletin asking people
to avoid obstructing the gateway access.
There are not always Welcomers at the 5.05pm Mass on Sundays. Bernard agreed
to see if Aidan and Diane Carson
would help.
There is also concern about Eucharistic Ministers not turning up at Mass when
rostered to do so. To be raised
at the next Eucharistic Ministers meeting.
12. Date of the next meeting: Wednesday 30th June in the Presbytery. Also agreed
meeting dates for 21/7/04 and 1/9/04. Advance notice of meetings will in future
be
published in the bulletin.
13. The meeting ended at 9.50pm with a prayer.
