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 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.
