The Electoral Roll will be open from 9 March to 6 April. Forms and a list of those already on the Roll will be in the foyer - please read the application form to see if you are eligible. Electoral rolls provide a true indication of the real membership and strength of the Church, both locally and nationally. Putting your name on the roll is a way of saying “I belong”; it is an act of commitment to your local church and to the Church as a whole. Members will have a vote at the Annual Church Meeting and can be nominated to the PCC or to the role of Churchwarden.
