Electoral Roll
We need to review the Church Electoral Roll before the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. A copy of the roll as it currently stands is in the church foyer. If you are not currently on the roll and are baptised, over 16 and either resident in the parish or regularly attend worship at either of our churches, please complete an application form.
If you are already on the roll please check your details are correct and submit a new form if anything needs to be corrected. Also please submit one if you have recently moved house.
Completed forms should be put in the post box outside the Church Office side door or the external post box to the right of the entrance to the Church Centre
The deadline for receiving completed forms is 26th April 2024 but earlier would be helpful. The application form can be found below.

Pastoral Care
As part of our Christian community, we provide mutual support for one another. Much of this happens informally with friends within the church and through the connect groups. However, sometimes people will require more personal support and encouragement either as a 'one-off chat' or on a more ongoing basis. We have a pastoral care team who can provide this type of care. Please contact Nigel Roe (Team Leader) on 07780 994827 or Rosi White on 07426 357967.
