Current & Forthcoming Events in Silsoe

If you are a member of our Church family, please make sure you have signed a new form. This needs to be done even if you are on the current Roll
Church Electoral Rolls
The current Electoral Rolls for each of our Churches will expire just before each Annual Parochial Church Meeting (Pulloxhill 13/4, Flitton 27/4, Silsoe 11/5).
Electoral Roll are revised every 6 years and that time has come. The Roll is an important indicator of our Church family size and its commitment to the mission and ministry of the parishes and should reflect the regular worshipping Church congregation. It gives the Diocese a sense of our relative size and shape and has significant implications if the Roll does not reflect the congregation as this influences clergy provision in the future.
You may be contacted via your Church or there will be forms available in each Church. For more details please contact Maggie Jeeves for Silsoe or Clare Butler Ellis for Flitton.
