Deadline – all forms need to be in by Sunday 27th April.
Thank you to everyone who has completed a church electoral roll form. Every 6 years we are required to create a new roll from scratch and all those who consider themselves to ‘belong’ to All Saints’ Church (who are baptised, aged 16+ and live in the parish and/or regularly worship here) are invited to join the roll. It is a way of expressing your membership and gives you the right to speak and vote at our annual meetings. It is also one of the qualifications for serving on the Parochial Church Council.
IF YOU HAVEN’T YET COMPLETED A FORM you can use the electronic one attached here but you must email it back by 12 noon on Sunday to t.r.webber3@gmail.com – or you can complete a physical form in church whilst it is open on Friday lunchtime or Sunday morning. Thank you. The new roll will be published on Sunday 5th May so that you can check that your name is entered as it should be.
(If you miss the deadline you are still able to fill a form in but you will not be able to vote at the AGM this year)
It will then be in use for our Annual Parochial Church Meeting This will be held within the 11am Sunday morning service on 18th May.
At this meeting we will elect churchwardens and PCC members for the year. Nominations are invited. Nominations for Churchwarden must be received in advance of the meeting – nominations for PCC members can be accepted at the meeting.
Please note that successful candidates will be required to have a church DBS check and participate in online safeguarding training.
Reports and accounts will be available in advance of the meeting both in hard copy and via the website.
