Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) 28 April 2024
 

We will hold our APCM after a short coffee break following the 10am service on Sunday 28 April when we will receive reports on the year past and look ahead, and elect churchwardens and four new members of the PCC (Church Council). To vote and to stand for election you need to be on the church electoral roll (see below), either living in the parish or having worshipped here regularly for six months.

Electoral Roll, notice of revision for 2024
 

The electoral roll will be updated to include anybody who is not already on it and wishes to join. It allows you to play a more active role in church matters. If you are already on the roll you do not need to do anything. If you are not sure if you are on it please ask Liz Delap. If  you are not on it but have been attending services at St Alfege Church for at least 6 months, you will be able to fill in a form from 6 to 16 April.  Here is the link to the enrolment online form and you can sign up here.  There are also forms at the back of church. 

The main agenda items are to elect the Churchwardens and new members to both Deanery Synod and the Parochial Church Council, PCC.

The meeting will also receive the annual report and accounts. For further information and details please contact Andrew Lewis, PCC secretary through the church office.

Our governance structure

The Parochial Parish Council (PCC) is responsible, with the Vicar, for promoting  the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical in the  parish. The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006) and is a charity registered with the Charity Commission under registration number 1133046.

It has maintenance responsibilities for St Alfege Church, Church Street, Greenwich SE10, the church hall and other church properties, as well as responsibilities for paid staff, and decides how the funds of the PCC are to be spent.

The Annual Parish Council Meeting (APCM) is usually held in spring each year.    Members of the PCC are either ex officio or elected annually by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in accordance with the Church Representation Rules, or co-opted in accordance with those rules. The e-officio members are the Vicar, the Churchwardens and the Southwark Pastoral Auxiliary. Deanery Synod members who are elected once every three years also sit on the PCC.
