Revision of Electoral Roll

If anyone wishes to be added to the parish electoral roll, forms are available at the back of the church or online at wkrk.uk/roll. The completed form can be returned to the electoral roll officer or churchwardens.

Yours Lord

If you haven’t already, we’d like to encourage you to think about your giving to the Church. We know it’s a difficult time for many, which is why you can find everything you need in our handy “Yours Lord” booklet. You can always talk to our team about where your donations go, what they do, how to think about how much to give or if giving is right for you, or to answer any other questions you might have.

If you’ve already decided to change what you give, keep it the same or even if decided that it isn’t something you can do, then taking a moment to let us know will help us plan for the future. If you haven’t already, you can pick up a response form at the back of the church or in the Community Centre, or chat to any of our finance team after the service.
