- Inclusive church: Having explored the mission of the ‘inclusive church’ movement, the PCC feels that it reflects our values and would be useful in maintaining our commitment and improving it as well as making it clear in our community that all are welcome. We are looking to apply for membership.
- The South Aisle Project (servery): The PCC is looking to apply for at least two grants over the next weeks and also to promote fund-raising over Christmas through flyers and a ‘thermometer’ indicating our progress in reaching our target.
- Mission Action Plan: The PCC will hold an ‘away day’ in June next year to review our progress related to the last action plan and to create a new five year plan.
- Churchyard: Having considered issues arising from our re-wilding decision of last year, the PCC’ Churchyard sub-group intends to consult on appropriate areas for re-wilding in the new year and also identify a contractor to address churchyard maintenance work.
- Worship: It was agreed to trial a monthly short Sunday afternoon children’s service from January, 2027
- Friends of St Nicolas Church: the sub-group has reviewed purpose and value of the ‘Friends’. From the new year, there will be three newsletters per year and two Taplow Talks plus the promotion of many other events like the Art Exhibition and Open Gardens.
- Finance: We agreed that we are in a position to pay our full parish share this year which will give us a discount on next year. The PCC is aware that next year, we face significant difficulties in our budget due particularly to a big increases in costs related to energy use as well as reductions in Parish Giving due to recent deaths of church members. Our treasurer also highlighted the need to re-invest our capital more efficiently and the finance sub-group now has a plan to do this.
