Renewal of Electoral Roll
This year we are required to prepare a completely new Church Electoral Roll in advance of our Annual Parochial Church Meeting in May. A new roll is prepared every six years. Anyone who wishes to have his or her name entered on the new Electoral Roll, whether it is entered on the present roll or not, will need to fill in an application form and return it to Annabelle Grassini, the Electoral Roll Officer. Forms are available in church and from Annabelle Grassini (electoral.roll@littlegaddesdenchurch.org.uk). They can be returned in hard copy or by email. The deadline for receipt of completed application forms is Monday 14th April. For further information about the significance of the Electoral Roll and the criteria for inclusion, please contact Annabelle or see the article in the March Parish News.
Midweek Discussion Group
The Midweek Discussion Group meets on Wednesday evenings.
Please contact Barbara Sheard at barbara@sheard.com with any questions.
