ELECTORAL ROLL REVIEW
Our Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) will take place in April, and as we prepare for this important moment in the life of our church, we warmly invite those who are NOT currently on the Church Electoral Roll to consider joining.
The Church Electoral Roll is the official membership list of the Church of England at Parish level. Being on the roll shows your commitment to this church and gives you a voice in its life and future. Those on the Electoral Roll are entitled to attend and vote at the APCM, where churchwardens and PCC members are elected, and where we reflect together on the past year and look ahead to what God is calling us to next.
Joining the Electoral Roll is a simple but meaningful way of saying, "This is my church, and I want to be part of its journey."
Please note: this invitation is only for those who are not already on the Electoral Roll. If you are unsure whether you are already on the list, please check online or refer to the list displayed at the back of church.
You DO NOT need to apply if you are already on the list.
Applications to join the Electoral Roll must be submitted by 31st March. Applications to be made online only, and further information will be shared in due course. If you have any questions in the meantime, please speak to a member of the clergy or churchwardens.

Need Prayer?
We see prayer as essential and a privilege and we want to be able to pray for anyone that may need prayer. There is no judgement on how big or small the prayer request is and as followers of Christ, we are free to come to him and have confidence that Jesus hears and welcomes our prayers.
If you or someone you know needs prayer, send us your prayer. The request will be sent to a group of prayerful people who will pray for you or the person in need. As a group they will only know the information you ask to be forwarded to them, and they will hold this request in confidence. The request will only be shared with the small group of people in the prayer group.
