Revision of Register of Vestry members
Revision of General Vestrymembers for Seagoe and Ardmore Parishes.
Every year we revise the names on the above registers. Each registered person then has a voting right at the General Vestry Meeting (normally held at Easter). We therefore encourage people to sign up, if they have not already done so.
To sign up a person needs to be 18yrs old or over, declares themselves to be Church of Ireland and a parishioner (or accustomed member-someone who attends the Parish but does not live in the Parish boundary), and has a record of contribution to the Parish Funds (no specified amount).
Application forms can be requested by e-mailing info@seagoe.co.uk. Applications need to be returned before the revision meetings to be held as follows:
Seagoe- Monday 22nd February at 7.30pm (not 1st March as previously mentioned).
Ardmore-Tuesday 23rd February at 7.30pm
If anyone would like any further information please contact Terence by phone or terence@seagoe.co.uk

22nd January 2021 Update on Covid lock-down

Following the Assembly’s announcement yesterday our Bishops have decided that all Churches will remain on-line only until at least Friday 5th March (except for weddings, funerals and private prayer). Sunday worship and other resources will be made available on Facebook Seagoe Parish, YouTube Seagoe Parish, and our website www.seagoe.co.uk.
Whilst we would prefer to return to our buildings we agree totally with the decision to seek to protect the health and wellbeing of the community.
Please share this information.

On-Line presence
Our Church services, and some other activities, can still be followed on-line, either via this site, or on facebook-seagoe Parish or youTube Seagoe Parish.

Sundays we will post a video of our morning in-church worship on Sunday morning.
3rd Sunday of the month we have Cafe Youth Church (please e-mail for a link to join this group)

From time to time we will have on-line prayer meetings by Zoom

The Resources tab leads to a selection of pages containing the Services, Prayer.
The Organisations tab leads to various organisation including Sunday Light.

Virtual Prayer Room-Friday 15th January
As a Parish we are indebted to Beth for organising our days of prayer in the Quiet Room. This Friday was to have been one such day, but unfortunately due to the Covid restrictions we have taken the difficult decision not to invite people to leave home to come to the quiet room. We are delighted to be able to offer an online alternative that will allow people to engage from the safety of their own home.

Parish contact
A team of Parish volunteers make contact with all our parishioners by phone from time to time to check how people are. Unfortunately we do not have contact numbers for a significant number of parishioners. If you are not contacted soon please email terence@seagoe.co.uk or phone 02838 332538 and leave you contact details on his answering machine.

Those in isolation
Any person in isolation who would like to receive regular phone calls from designated parishioners is requested email terence@seagoe.co.uk or phone 02838332538.

Contributing to Church funds
A number of parishioners have asked about how they can contribute to Church funds during this period.
1. Those who come to worship can leave envelopes or money in the collection baskets as they leave Church.
2. Anyone can set up a Standing Order directly to our Church bank account using sort code: 98-12-90 account number: 33191057 It is suggested that monthly contributions are preferable to reduce bank fees. If you need assistance with this please contact our Treasurer, Philip Holland, philip@hi-systems.co.uk or by phone 02838339198.
3. Anyone can make one-off bank transfers using the bank details above.
4. If you would prefer you can use the Give As You Live Donate button on the left. (there is a small fee for using this facility that will slightly reduces your contribution.)
5. You can save up funds and contribute when you are ready to return to Church.
6. If you have envelopes or any other funds that you would like to contribute you can call Terence on 38332538 to make arrangements.
