ACPM Providing the government regulations do not change the date of the Annual Parochial Church Meeting is Wednesday 28th April at 7.45 pm. As part of the preparation for the APCM we need to advise you that the church Electoral Role is being revised. If you are already on the role you need to do nothing. If you are not sure if you are on the role or if you are new to the church and would like to be included on the role please contact the church office on: [email protected] or 01920 487267. Electoral Roll What is the? The church’s Electoral Roll is the register of its voting members; it is a list of those qualified to attend and to vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. The Electoral rolls provide an indication of the real membership and strength of the church. Who can be on the electoral Roll? Baptised adults (over 16 years) who live in the parish, or who have worshipped regularly at Christ Church for at least six months and are committed to being part of the life of the local Church of England congregation. Why Join? Enrolment is a way of saying....“I belong”. For us it is an act of commitment to Christ Church and the church as a whole. PCC This year we have three vacancies – if you are interested in standing please talk to either Bob or Cheryl or contact the office for a job description and more information. We also have a vacancy as a Deanery Synod representative for Christ Church- again we have a job description and one of our representatives would be happy to tell you about the role. Wombles Clean Up Ware
If you are of a certain age, you will no doubt remember the Wombles who kept Wimbledon Common litter free. Well, a lovely lady in Ware has set up a group called ‘The Wombles of Ware Abouts’. The idea is simple: you nominate yourself for a road and when you go on your daily exercise, take a bin bag and litter picker with you and pick up as you go. You can do as many or as few days as you like. This is a great way to show we care about God's world. If you would like to volunteer yourself, join the Facebook group ‘Wombles of Ware Abouts’. God Bless. John We're continuing our series meditating on the 'I Am' sayings of Jesus to inject fresh hope into our hearts. This week our vicar John looks at Jesus saying 'I Am the True Vine' from the book of John chapter 15 verse 1-4 - ‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful... Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.’ Do you want to receive life and encouragement, tended to by God as a gardener tends to a garden? Jesus invites you to grow from him and remain connected to the true source of life. Dear Friends, If you are asking questions about the right way to go, trying to find the truth and looking for life, Jesus invites you to come and know him. Do watch our latest video on I Am the Way the Truth and the Life HERE. We are delighted that our 9am service this Sunday will take place in person in church – remember you will need to book HERE. You can also join us as usual this Sunday (and every Sunday) at 10.30am on our live stream as we continue to explore the book of Philippians HERE.
