You will notice that we now have the signing in sheets back. If you have children that you hope will go to Ranelagh you will need to sign the sheet each week and have it countersigned. There is a signing in for Ranelagh on Wednesday 13th October at 5.00 pm. You need to visit the Parish Centre on to sign that you wish your child to be on the list for Ranelagh. No appointment needed.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

We are required to update our compliance with these regulations, and we would ask that you each fill in the form that Hazel will give out and return it as soon as possible. Thank you to those who have done so already. There is a separate one for Sunday school. Your help with this is very much appreciated.

HARVEST

Our harvest thanksgiving will be on the 24th October. We have had a request from the Foodbank NOT to donate food this year. Last year they received three times more than they normally get and could not handle such a large volume. They had to rent space for storage which is not a good use of their resources. The suggestion this year is that we have a special collection at harvest and make a donation to the Foodbank.

Bible Study

Just to remind you that there is a Bible study on Zoom each Thursday evening and the log in details are below:

Finance

We do not take a collection during the service but a Response Box is on the Information table at the back should you wish to make a donation to the work of our church. Alternatively you could

sign a Standing Order form committing to regular monthly giving which
allows our Treasurer to monitor the church finances more closely.

School Admissions

This aims to make the system fair and transparent for those wishing to apply to St Michael’s or Ranelagh church schools on church attendance criteria. Parents will be asked to sign a register at the back of church each time they attend and get this counter signed by a member of the Leadership Team. It is also the responsibility of parents to ensure their names are on the Electoral Roll at St. Michael’s.

Can we remind parents that they CANNOT sign their forms retrospectively.

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING RANELAGH YOU MUST JOIN THE ELECTORAL ROLL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING ST MICHAEL’S PLEASE SEE THE CHECKLIST
IN THE REGISTER.
