The Electoral Roll will close next Sunday. Forms and a list of those already on the Roll are in the foyer. 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.

Please pray for our young people and leaders as they prepare and serve during that week, and for Cottingley.
The children (with the help and support of parents) have been thinking about following Jesus and how He wants us to be generous. Over 8 weeks we have collected £27! We have decided together, to buy: 1 Chicken, Antibiotics for a sick child, a High Nutrition Food Supplement and an Emergency Kit for poor children and families in Africa.

Minutes Secretary We would like someone to help prepare agendas for and take minutes during meetings of the Overseas Mission Committee which take place approximately 8 times a year. If you can help with either of these roles, please contact Stuart Roberts.
