John Pearce writes: The Parish News Readership Survey provided much food for thought and valuable suggestions for widening the range of content; this is an initial response to two of these.
[a] I am looking for ten individuals to write Guest Editorials for Parish News covering Sep 2026 - Jul/Aug 2027. I have a short list of people whom I intend to invite but happy to receive offers from anyone. The choice of topic and treatment will be entirely their own. About 600 words will be ideal.
[b] The suggestion was also made that the Parish News run profile articles of individual members of the congregation who hold various offices in the church, and again I am looking for people willing to be interviewed, and also for people to write the profiles.
If you interested in either [or both!] of these ideas, then speak to me at church, text me at 07903 227 192 or at heljon@blueyonder.co.uk to find out more.
Soup Lunch has now closed for the summer. It will reopen on Wed 2 Sept.
