Enrolling

Have your say


ELIGIBILITY


If you are a baptised follower of Christ you are invited to
get involved in the governance of St. Michael's by enrolling as a Member. 
This is through our Parochial Church Council  (PCC).


 

Enrolling as a Member is one way of showing your commitment and
care for the community and the buildings. 

 


POWERS


Electoral Roll Members have an annual meeting to

review our operations, resources, and to elect representatives for the PCC.

This is how you can have your "say" and get involved. 


RULES
