Through the Church Door - Heritage Open Days 14th/15th September
|
This year, the Heritage Open Days at St Michael’s will provide an opportunity to explore and discover more about St Michael’s and a lot of ‘hidden’ things in church. As in previous years there will be opportunities for all ages.
Come and explore on Saturday 14th September (9.00 am to 5.00 pm) and Sunday 15th September (1.00 pm to 5.00 pm). There will be tours at 2:30 pm each day. This is your chance to find out the answer to those questions you always wanted to ask - such as ‘why is the nave called the nave?’ Come along to find out the answer to this and more. |

Church Membership and the Electoral Roll
Every six years, we start again with a fresh electoral (membership) roll. This is the year for a new one, so even if you have been on the roll before you need to get the new form to complete. Membership enables you to vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) and, if you wish, to stand for election to the Parochial Church Council (PCC), to the Deanery Synod or as Churchwarden. Parents who are considering sending a child to Ranelagh School should also be aware that membership of the church roll is a criterion for admission.
To join or to continue as a member, you will need to fill in a new 2019 application form. Please note that if you don’t fill in a new form, you will cease to be a member of St Michael’s Electoral Roll. We are not allowed to automatically transfer your name from the old roll to the new one.
If you regularly worship with us, are baptised and consider yourself a member of the Church of England, you should fill out a form. Any questions, please contact the Electoral Roll Officer, Claire Clay, or one of the churchwardens.
If you wish you can print off the Membership form below, complete it and bring it along to church. There is also a pledge form for you to use.

They will start at Michaelmas (29th September) 2019 and will continue until the end of 2020. The celebrations will include a flower festival over the Michaelmas weekend in 2020, as well as several events which utilise the abilities of members of the congregation. . The design shown will be used in a banner to be created for the anniversary. |
