From the Vicarage…… Electoral Roll Every six years we must renew the Electoral Roll which is the membership list of our Church. The next full revision is now due. The new General Data Protection Regulations also require us to ask you if we can keep your personal contact information and use it for our mission and pastoral care. Whether you have been a part of our church for 6 months or 60+ years, or occasionally join us, it is a privilege to worship alongside you and to work with you in the mission of our church. We stand together on the verge of a very exciting future for our church as we approach the 900th Anniversary of when the present building began and I hope that you feel that this is worth being part of. Being on the Electoral Roll has several important benefits: On an official level, being on the Electoral Roll gives you the right to vote at our Annual General Meeting, this year on Sunday morning 28 April at 10am. Unofficially, and more importantly, being on the Electoral Roll is a declaration of your desire to belong to our church family and partner with us in our church’s mission. It therefore gives you a voice in shaping our priorities and enables you to support the ministries of our church. Giving consent for us to use your personal information will allow the leadership to contact you to arrange a visit or to send you information such as upcoming events and other information. You can of course unsubscribe at any time. We will always keep this information safe and we will never share it with anyone or for any other purpose than that which we have stated. There are forms by the font in church which serve two specific purposes: to invite you to join the membership of our church and join our Electoral Roll to request consent from you to store and use your personal information to further the mission and pastoral care of our church. We hope that Westfield Church is a place of welcome and friendship, and we invite you to join with us as we build up our church community and reach out to our village and beyond with love in action. Please return both forms to Susan Mulford at the Vicarage as soon as possible as we need to have the new roll completed for the Annual General Meeting. On a different note, some people have been asking about the Yew trees which lined the church path. A few years ago the PCC noticed that some of the trees were diseased and, after careful consideration, took the action to remove three of them in order to preserve the rest. Unfortunately, the disease has spread and again, after consultation with a tree specialist, we have removed the affected trees to try and preserve the two which are by the church porch. Some I know are sad to see them go, but others are pleased to see such space and openness at the front of the church. We are now looking for ideas about what to replace them with, and to develop the wild flower conservation area. The yew wood was recycled and used to make a path across the churchyard. Finally, it will soon be Easter – yes, Easter eggs are in the shops already – so please join us for a celebration of the Christian message at the Good Friday workshop, and services for all ages on Easter Day.
