Every 6th year, instead of revision, a completely new Roll has to be prepared. This year, 2025, a NEW Church Electoral Roll is being prepared. EVERY person who wishes to have their name entered on the new Roll, whether it is entered on the present Roll or not, is requested to apply for enrolment.The Roll is used to determine eligibility for attendance at and participation in the Annual Parochial Church Meeting and for election to the Parochial Church Council. Forms of application for enrolment can be obtained from the Parish Office or downloaded from this notice, completed electronically and then emailed back. Alternatively, application forms will be available in church.
For 2025, materials were prepared by the ecumenical community at Bose in Northern Italy. https://ctbi.org.uk/week-of-prayer-for-christian-unity-2025/Daily SessionsMonday 20th January 12:00 noon St Benedict’s ChurchWednesday 22nd January 12:00 noon Gillingham Community ChurchFriday 24th January 12:00 noon St Mary the Virgin Church
