Following the easing of restrictions, we are pleased to announce that St Bartholomew's will be open every day for private prayer and reflection.You are most welcome to come and sit in these beautiful surroundings.Check the notices for our twice-monthly services: the first Sunday of the month is a relaxed and reflective service of Evening Prayer; the third Sunday of the month is our Parish Eucharist.
This month sees our Annual Parochial Church Meetings (APCM) taking place at each of our three churches. It is a significant event in the parochial year during which the Churchwardens are elected. In co-operation with the priest in charge (or, in cases of vacancy, the Bishop), Churchwardens are generally responsible for the day-to-day functioning of the parish. These responsibilities include various aspects of administration, plant operations, and personnel. Their work is not just the maintenance of the church building, but helping the smooth running of the church.The dates for our APCMs are: St Giles' Whittington - Sunday 30th May 11:00 in the Church Hall, St Mary's Weeford - Sunday 23rd May 10:30 in church, St Bartholomew's Hints - Tuesday 25th May 19:30 in church. Lay persons on the parish electoral roll are entitled to attend and take part. The Qualification to be on the Roll is to be over 16 (or will be 16 by the time of the APCM) baptised, and a member of CofE or of a Church in Communion with it, and either resident in the parish or a habitual worshipper during last 6 months prior to enrolment; or a member of another church subscribing to the Holy Trinity who is prepared to be a member of the CofE as well.
