Every six years, the church electoral roll must be fully updated. Being on the roll allows you to attend and vote at the annual parochial church meeting. Every person who would like to be added to the roll must be baptised and reside in the parish or, if not a resident, regularly attend public worship at the church for which the application is made. Each church within the benefice is currently updating the roll, Should you wish to be included on the new roll, forms are now available in each church and should be returned by the deadline set by each church. In the event of any questions or for more information, please contact our Benefice Administrator.

Otterbourne will be holding another Spring Fun Day on 26th April from 10 am – 12.30 pm. Further details will be published soon. Please put the date in your diary.

Volunteers are needed to come along and help with giving St. Matthew’s a good clean and tidy up please! We need tall men to help with high level cobweb cleaning and volunteers to help with dusting, brass cleaning and other tasks. The music cupboard in the church room also needs a good tidy. If you think you may be able to help, even for a short while, we would be pleased to see you. We will be meeting between 9.30 am – 12 noon. All help will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
