Church meeting – Monday 17th July

Please note in your diaries that the next Church Meeting will be held on Monday 17th July at 8pm. If you regularly attend one of our congregations you are welcome to join us at that meeting. There are various items on the agenda, including the election of an Elder. Ian Holmes has been faithfully serving as an Elder for 2 terms, which come to an end at the Church Meeting. If you are a church member and would like to nominate someone, please complete a nomination form (available on the table at church). You will need to get your nominee’s permission and find someone to second your nomination. Please hand your form in to the church office by Sunday 9th July. Ian has confirmed that he is happy to stand again if nominated.

Pledge and Giving Reminder

Following our pledge day in January to balance our finances ahead of our associate pastor joining us in August, a number of pledges have yet to be actioned. If you pledged to increase your giving to support CBC’s work and haven’t yet done so, please consider this a final reminder to amend your giving. We recognise that, for some, circumstances will have changed and some pledges may no longer be feasible. If you do not currently give and would like to start, or didn’t pledge and would like to increase your giving, details on how to do this can be found on CBC’s website here: corshambaptists.org/giving.

Every little helps support the activities of the church and makes a real difference. If you have any queries, please feel free to contact Tom L, the CBC treasurer at treasurer@corshambaptists.org. Thank you.
