There is a copy of the current Roll (and some application forms) at the back of the church or it can be consulted in the Parish Office. If you are not already on the Roll but are a regular worshipper at St Chad's, please do consider filling in a form. Membership of the Roll entitles you to vote at the Annual Church Meeting which will be held this year on Wednesday 25 April. Please also have a look at the current Roll and let me know if your entry is wrong or out of date. Jenni Hall Electoral Roll Officer 274 4322 Re-ordering You can both read about and view a slideshow of progress to date by visiting Reordering News. Pop-ups must be enabled We still need to raise money for the re-ordering project. We have most of it, but we are still about £35,000 short. Leaflets with details about how we can all contribute can be downloaded here and will also be available at all services and from the Parish Office. Fund-raising activities are being resumed as we see the progress with the building work. Please support us. ***************		Treasures Revealed in Leeds St Chad's has registered to take part once again in Treasures Revealed in Leeds, which this year runs from 28th April to 7th May.
