What is the Electoral Roll? It is the list of names and addresses of every person who can vote at the Annual Parochial Church Council meeting (APCM). At St Giles we also use it to help in planning, and for the clergy and others involved in running the church to have contact details of our parishioners at their fingertips. St Albans Diocese uses the numbers on our Electoral Roll to help determine our Parish Share (see below). This is the Ecclesiastical Electoral Roll and not to be confused with the Civic Electoral Roll administered by the Council – they are two different things! Who can be on it? Anyone who is baptised and over 16 provided they live in the parish or have worshipped at the church regularly for six months. Every six years a new Roll is prepared and those currently on it informed so they can re-apply. If you are not resident in the parish but were on the Roll as an habitual worshipper and have been prevented by sickness, absence or other essential reason from worshipping for the past six months please indicate this on the form, together with the reason. There is no clear definition of ‘Regular Worshipper’ but as a guide it probably means at least once a month. Does it commit me to anything?No!How do I apply?Download the form from this page or pick up one in church, fill it in and hand to Caroline Maddocks our Electoral Roll Officer by Sunday 25th April.
One of our core values is responding to need. St Giles PCC recently voted unanimously to come to the aid of Codicote Foodbank and offer to host them when their present premises are no longer available.The foodbank will operate from St Giles Parish Centre on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:30pm, starting on Wednesday 8th April. This will be for a trial period of 6 months.
St Giles Cafe Church runs on the first Sunday of the Month from 10am in the Peace Memorial Hall. It is relaxed and lots of fun for all ages.

Expect lots of fun, pancakes to eat AND a pancake race! All are welcome – come and join us.
