Roughton Annual Church Meeting

for 1 hour
St Margaret's, Roughton
Main Street Roughton Lincoln, LN10 6YJ, United Kingdom

After the Morning Prayer Service, St. Margaret's at Roughton will be holding the Annual Parish Meeting in the church.

The purpose of this meeting is to elect the churchwardens for this next year (2026/27). Every person on the electoral roll for Roughton Parish has the right to attend and vote for their church wardens - who are the essential link between the church and the people who live in the parish.

At the conclusion of that meeting the Annual Church Meeting will commence. This meeting is open to all who are on the Church Electoral Roll at St. Margaret's.
Items on the agenda include the approval of the auditor for the church accounts for 2026, the reports on the accounts, the fabric of the church, church activities, a ministry report and the election of the two Joint Church Council (JCC) members.
If you are eligible and able to attend either or both of these meetings, please do so.

This is your village church, it is there for you for all the important milestones in family life - for family weddings, for baptisms (all ages!) and at the end, the funerals of your loved ones.

St Margaret's, Roughton

Welcome to St. Margaret's Church in Roughton, Lincolnshire.

We are in a group of ten Anglican parishes serving rural villages in central Lincolnshire. Each church has its own character and activities, but we work and share together as much as we can, in worship and social events throughout the year.

This little church is a gem, nestled down a leafy country lane in the delightful rural village of Roughton. This church is a very precious place but because of its age it is very difficult to access. We have taken advice from our diocesan accessibility officer and we deeply regret that we cannot install ramps in accordance with the necessary protocols to safely enable wheelchair users to access our church. The aisles are very narrow so there is no room to turn around - if you can get in you have to be pulled out backwards. We are truly sorry - we have been told that our church is one of the very few that cannot be modified. 

We are committed to being a people of prayer, learning to live out our faith in Jesus and loving our local community.

Our Benefice

Safeguarding

Most of the time at church we are like a big happy family. However even in very happy families, people can have a bad day and even people we know and trust can upset us. We want to help everyone have good days all of the time. We try to make sure that people who have jobs in the church always behave well and in a way that is helpful to you. We never want anyone or anything in church to frighten you, confuse you or worry you. It is important that you tell us if something is upsetting you or if you are feeling worried about something that's happening or something somebody is doing. We have specially trained people who can talk to and who you can ask for help. These people are good at Safeguarding. This means they look after everyone's safety. Caring for people is a very important part of our Christian life.

Our Parish Safeguarding Officer for the Bain Valley group of churches is Tina Calvert, who is available to contact on 07718 884641, or email [email protected].
