Getting to know The Gospels will look at the four books that sit at the heart of the New Testament. Over the four sessions, we will dive into three main areas: • The Authorship: We’ll explore who Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John actually were. Were they eyewitnesses, historians, or something else? • The Content: We’ll map out what is in the pages - from the famous parables and miracles to the more challenging teachings. It’s a great way to get a "bird’s-eye view" of the narrative flow. • The Message: Most importantly, we’ll discuss what these accounts tell us about Jesus. By looking at his life, death, and resurrection through four different lenses, we get a much richer picture of his character and his relevance to our lives today.Who, When and where?

What is the Electoral Roll? It is the list of names and addresses of every person who can vote at the Annual Parochial Church Council meeting (APCM). At St Giles we also use it to help in planning, and for the clergy and others involved in running the church to have contact details of our parishioners at their fingertips. St Albans Diocese uses the numbers on our Electoral Roll to help determine our Parish Share (see below). This is the Ecclesiastical Electoral Roll and not to be confused with the Civic Electoral Roll administered by the Council – they are two different things! Who can be on it? Anyone who is baptised and over 16 provided they live in the parish or have worshipped at the church regularly for six months. Every six years a new Roll is prepared and those currently on it informed so they can re-apply. If you are not resident in the parish but were on the Roll as an habitual worshipper and have been prevented by sickness, absence or other essential reason from worshipping for the past six months please indicate this on the form, together with the reason. There is no clear definition of ‘Regular Worshipper’ but as a guide it probably means at least once a month. Does it commit me to anything?No!How do I apply?Download the form from this page or pick up one in church, fill it in and hand to Caroline Maddocks our Electoral Roll Officer by Sunday 25th April.
