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. Electoral rolls provide an indication of the real membership and strength of the church. Who can be on the electoral Roll? If you are baptised and over 16, and either live in the parish, or 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. You can apply to be on the Electoral Roll at any time. Forms are available at the back of Church. Please speak to John, Marcus , Warden or contact the office for more details. Each year the Electoral Roll is revised before the APCM (15 May 2023) If you are currently on the Electoral Roll you don’t have to do anything this year.

Opting for homemade cleaning products or environmentally-friendly products is sustainable, safer and cleaner. White vinegar, baking soda, lemon, salt and essential oils are all household products that make great cleaning solutions. See what household commercial products and plastics you can eliminate! An extra benefit is you know what goes into your local environment, so you don’t have to worry about pollutant chemicals.
