AGM

Next week is our AGM when we look back at all God has done and look forward to where we believe that he is taking us. To that end do please pick up copies of the reports to enable you to see all that has been going on in the church. This is also the time when we look to appoint people to the church council (the PCC), the deanery synod (a wider church body) and the church wardens to take decisions on our behalf. Anyone on the electoral roll is eligible to vote. The roll is open to those whose regular church is Springfield, are 16 or over and have been attending for 6 months or more. The current electoral Roll and forms are available on the welcome desk as well as nomination forms for PCC, Deanery Synod and Church Warden.
