Below we outline the PROPOSALS we are intending to take to PCC, and six areas which we want to have an open DISCUSSION about and have your feedback to make decisions at PCC. Please comment on any questions you wish to share feedback on (no need to comment on all the questions - just the ones that are relevant for you) and please use the comments boxes to indicate things that you feel very strongly about.  Thank you so much for taking part in this.

PROPOSALS to take to Joint PCC
These are the three proposals that we are intending to take to Joint PCC for approval without further discussion.
1) That we move permanently to a single service at All Saints on Sunday mornings (except perhaps on the 2nd Sunday – see points for discussion) which is a ‘blended service’ of contemporary and traditional worship as currently.        2) That we retain the current contemporary service on a Sunday morning at St Andrew’s (time could change) and an evening service (but location is up for discussion).         3)That we keep going with Early Birds at 9am at St Andrew’s now on 1st, 3rd, 5th Sundays (and encourage these families to join ‘big church’ on 2nd and 4th Sundays).                    Please share any comments you may have on the above proposals.
Areas for DISCUSSION
These are areas we want to have feedback on from congregation members to help us in our decision making at joint PCC.
DISCUSSION 1.  That we look (at some point – and not before Christmas and depending on leadership capacity then) to start a monthly ‘All-In café church’ in the Malvern Wells Village Hall on the 2nd Sunday of the month alongside (probably at the same time) the AS service. This would enable the All Saints service to have a more traditional feel once a month, and also give opportunity to reach new families in the community and link in with our schools better. Being on the 2nd Sunday of the month some Early Bird families might choose to come to this also. The intention is that this would be largely lay-led by a team.    Please share any comments, and anything you sense from God on this below.
DISCUSSION 2. For those who would consider attending the All Saints Sunday Service only.... what time would you recommend for the service – considering what you would prefer and the demands of the staff team with other services (e.g. 9am Early Birds).
Any comments on the above?
DISCUSSION 3. What is the right location for ‘The Six’ Service? – should we keep it at St Andrew’s or move it to All Saints where the space is better & CHAOS could use the Youth Room, but the set up more complex and time consuming? Please tick the recommended option.
Clear selection
DISCUSSION 4. Should the midweek service at St Andrew’s (which we would keep in the current ‘blended’ format) be moved to 9am on a Sunday morning once COVID cases have consistently dropped to negligible levels, or stay permanently as a midweek service and just keep the one service on a Sunday morning at St Andrew’s?
Clear selection
Any comments on the above?
DISCUSSION 5. We are sensing that God might be leading us to start (at some point – and not before Christmas, and depending on leadership capacity then) a new monthly(?) ‘fresh expressions’ Sunday gathering in the Octagon (say 3/4pm) which we hope might connect particularly with CAP clients, folk on the Brook Farm Estate, who might otherwise find it hard to access our current worship services. The intention is that this would be largely lay led by a team.  Have you any thoughts on this? Do you sense God saying anything about this?
Which one of these ‘new’ services – the Monthly All-In café style service in the Malvern Wells Village Hall or the New Fresh Expression service at the Octagon – do you sense God most leading us to at this moment?
Clear selection
Any comments on the above?
Is there anything else that you would like to share? Anything else that you sense God saying to us as a church as we consider these things?
Thank you so much for your prayerful consideration and feedback on this!
