Prayers after the Service If you would like somebody to pray with you after the Service please ask any of the Leadership Team (Adrian, John, Colin, Lina, Maria, Phil, Martine and Sue). MEMBERSHIP OF THE CHURCH (taken from the constitution) Membership shall be open to all over eighteen years of age who profess faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, who show evidence of this in their lifestyle, and who are prepared to commit themselves to this particular fellowship and its ministry. All members are expected to play a full part in the life of the church. A membership list shall be kept of those who have recommitted themselves to church membership on an annual basis. At membership meetings, members who attend shall have one vote on each and every issue where a vote is taken. 5.5 Annual renewal of commitment to the fellowship Each year, at the Annual General Meeting, those present will renew their commitment to the fellowship by reading the Membership Covenant together. Those who are unable to attend the Annual General Meeting will be given a letter enclosing a copy of the Membership Covenant for them to sign and return to the Leadership Team. It is recognised that sometimes members may pass through a crisis of faith or for other reasons may not conscientiously feel able to commit themselves to fulfil the responsibilities of membership. Such persons will be treated with pastoral sensitivity. However, anyone who does not return the signed Covenant within the following year will normally be deemed to have voluntarily relinquished their membership. 5.6 Failure to adhere to the principles of the Membership Covenant In the case of a sustained failure on the part of a member to uphold their commitment to the Membership Covenant, the member will be contacted by the Elders to ascertain the situation. Every reasonable effort will be made to encourage the member to meet their commitment. If these efforts are unsuccessful, then that person will be removed from the membership list.
