Progress
2019 Goal 1: “Outreach” Plans postponed, due to COVID-19.
2019 Goal 2: No Services in Church, due to COVID-19. However, during 2020, much-appreciated and successful On-Line Services for our two Benefices.
2019 Goal 3 – ongoing: Prayer Resource in Church Porch.
2019 Goal 4 : Fully paid 2020 Parish Share (total requested £1,845.00).
COVID-19 Restrictions put a damper on all community outreach plans.
Vision
We want to be seen as active, worshipping together, an outward-looking, caring community.
Values
On 14 July 2019, the installation took place of Revd Tim Wilson as Priest in Charge, together with Geraldine Skinner as Reader with Pastoral Care, and Revd David Miller as Assistant Minister. Bolnhurst thus becomes part of the two Benefices of: “Bolnhurst with Keysoe”, and “Wilden with Colmworth and Ravensden”.
Vision [for five years’ time]: Bolnhurst PCC is delighted that Revd Tim Wilson is Priest in Charge until Dec 31 2022. The Benefice of Bolnhurst with Keysoe thus awaits further developments therein, linked to “Reimagining the Deanery”.
