From PieterAGM On Tuesday April 16 we will have our annual church meeting. It will be a real encouragement if many of you can attend. If this is your church, then please support the ministers and the deacons by showing that you care. It’s not a dry meeting, there will be worship as well. All welcome – only members can vote. Day of Prayer Please keep an hour free on Saturday April 27. The church will probably be open between 11 and 14 hours. If we don’t pray, God will struggle do work through us. Elections The churches have been asked to pass on the following: On Thursday 2 May 2024, there will be elections. You will need to bring photo ID to be able to vote at a polling station. Lots of photo ID will be ok, like passports, driving licences and cards with a PASS mark on them. The name on your ID should be the same name you used to register to vote. If you don’t have an accepted form of ID, you can apply for a free voter ID document known as a Voter Authority Certificate. You must be registered to vote by Tuesday 16 April 2024. The deadline to apply to vote by post is Wednesday 17 April 2024. The deadline to apply to vote by proxy is Wednesday 24 April 2024. I think that it our duty as Christians and as citizens to vote. Christian Aid Week Between 12 and 18 May, C4K will take part in the annual collection for the charity Christian Aid. Last year the fantastic amount of nearly £3000 came in. This year we are looking again for volunteers. Can you please do one of three things:
If so, please contact Lynda Shore or me. PS The collection for Christian Aid at the Good Friday service raised £200, to be used for humanitarian relief in the current Middle East conflict between Israel and Palestine. |

Annual General MeetingOur Annual General meeting is being held Tuesday 16th April at 7:30pm. The meeting is open to all, but only members may vote. We will receive the annual report and accounts, appoint the church officers and reaffirm our organisation leaders, and there will also be an opportunity to elect Deacons. No nominations have been received for the office of Deacon. The annual report was distributed last week. Please ask if you would like a printed version. Most of the church’s polices have been reviewed and updated in line with current circumstances and updated guidance form the Baptist Union. They will be presented for adoption at the AGM and are available in a folder at the back of the church. |
