Annual Parochial Church Council Meeting
St Andrew's Church, Cromhall
Every year each parish church holds an Annual Parochial Church Meeting (the equivalent of an AGM) at which reports are given of the parish church’s activities during the past year, its finances and various other formalities. Everyone who lives in a given parish is entitled to attend this meeting but only those who are listed on the electoral roll are able to participate fully.
This year the rolls will be updated. The preparation of a new roll is an opportunity to encourage those new to church life, or to the community, to join the roll, as a practical symbol of commitment to the church. It allows us to take part in decisions which affect the church and parish, to take part in the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM), and to stand for the Parochial Church Council. The APCM held after the new roll has been formed can be an occasion to welcome new-comers.
