Minister's message

Dear friends,

An update regarding the Circuit Ministry Team:

▪                             Some new and exciting news - I'm delighted to let you know that Deacon Janet Amey has been appointed by the Methodist Conference to join our Circuit ministry team. Janet is currently serving in the Stockport Circuit, and will move to our Circuit mid-year (around February/March); she will be based in Worcester.

▪                             Over the summer will be saying goodbye to Deacon Corinne Brown, and wish her well in her new appointment at The Queen's Foundation for Theological Education in Birmingham. 

▪                              We look forward to welcoming Reverend Paul Carter as he takes up his appointment in our Circuit from September 1st, and to his ministry among us. Paul will be based in the Malvern Churches & St Andrew's in Worcester. Please join us at Paul & Carol's Circuit Welcome Service, 3pm Saturday August 29th, at Lansdowne Crescent MC in Malvern.

▪                             As you may be aware, Reverend Patricia Mukorombindo is currently on sickness absence. I'm sure that you will join me in holding her in prayer. In discussion with church stewards, we are working to ensure that Patricia's planned preaching appointments and other commitments are covered where possible. (A gentle reminder - Patricia's health details are of course private and confidential; please discourage any gossip or rumours that you may encounter, and be assured that appropriate pastoral support is in place. I am keeping in touch with Patricia, and will share information regarding her return to work when this is known).

With these various changes taking place, I realise that things may feel a little unsettled at the moment, and am working to ensure that disruption to church life is minimal where possible. I am extremely thankful to preachers, stewards and others who are offering help and support in various ways to serve our churches, community and Circuit, and for your understanding and prayer. Every blessing, Liz
