PARISHIONERS of St Michael's Church, in Burtonwood, are invited to stand for election as church representatives.

Nomination papers for the posts of sidesperson, PCC member, deanery synod rep and churchwarden are in the church, awaiting the election on April 29.

The Reverend Russ Naylor said: "Please think about whom you would like to see filing one of these important offices in the church.

"You could also perhaps consider being nominated yourself."

People will be formerly commissioned into their posts on May 24 but Rev Naylor says people who cannot attend should not be put off standing.
