The Electoral Roll will be open until 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 an 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.
