ANNUAL CHURCH MEETINGS
These will take place on Tuesday 13 April, at 7pm in the Parish Hall.
The Annual Parish Meeting, at which the Churchwardens are elected, will be followed immediately by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, which reviews the past year at St John's, approves the financial reports and holds any elections needed. All members of the church are encouraged to attend.

The ELECTORAL ROLL is being updated. The current roll is on display in the cloisters and in the back of the church. If your name isn't on it, but you'd like to be added, please fill up a form and hand it in; you are eligible to join if you live in the parish or have worshipped at St John's for the last 6 months. If your name is already on the current roll, you don't have to fill up another form.
