Welcome to the preaching plan for the summer quarter. 2002 *Mrs Marilyn Billington 878418 Rev Gordon Barker 824116 You will see that we have had to put in a few more CPs than normal 1976 Mr John Binns 837143 Rev Jo Dudley and that you have one or two extra united services. August is always 2010 *Mrs Mary Black 851348 Rev Carol Fox 2001 Mrs Marilyn Cannell 878261 Rev Dawn Mather 629202 a challenging month to plan, especially in a year when there are staf 2010 Mrs Elaine Christian 622888 changes taking place. However, this is also symptomatic of the 1988 Mrs Calleen Cochrane 834146 reality of having 29 churches to plan for. This is particularly true 1990 Mr John Corkish 832517 when 20 of those churches all have their main service at roughly the 2011 Mrs Katherine Corkish 832517 1996 * Miss Norma Cowell 676120 same time on a Sunday morning. 2010 *Mrs Beverley Cowley 438771 1984 Mr Paul Craine 851861 At the risk of repeating myself, for one last time before I leave you, 2001 *Mrs Marinda Fargher 861039 this cannot go on. Methodist Conference this year will consider 2013 Dr Tim Grass 819619 changing the minimum size of a congregation from six to twelve and 1999 Ms Stephanie Gray 670691 We are very grateful to everyone who offers a 1982 Mrs Jean Guthrie 626494 preaching ministry across the circuit, and hold in all probability will make that decision. We can see this as a threat 2017 *Mrs Phyllis Jackson 622973 them in our prayers as they lead God’s people in or as an opportunity to be creative in our use of our resources. 2016 Mrs Brenda Kinnish 861568 worship, teaching, praise and prayer. 1976 Mr Frank Manning 838078 There is increasing pressure to consider how we use our resources 1998 Mr Kevin Mort 833727 for the sake of the planet. The generation which we so often say we 2002 Mrs Lesley Motley 845312 2008 Mrs Rita Norrey 824616 are trying to attract will not understand why we need so many 1991 Mr Bert Quayle 843157 buildings for so few people. Whenever I take part in a united service 1979 *Mrs Mary Radcliffe 812622 people tell me how lovely it is to be part of a large group of folk 2020 Mrs Caroline Salmon 810995 worshipping God together. 1971 *Mrs Thelma Wilson 834450 2015 Mrs Sue Yardy 812385 All we need to do is be prepared to let go of our attachment to particular buildings in order to achieve this every week, along with Preachers on trial less strain on our preachers, both lay and ordained, lifting the burden Mrs Linda Eccles 627600 from stewards and other ofcers who feel a real responsibility to Ms Louise Whitelegg 474275 keep the show on the road and releasing energy and resources for Mrs Pauline Corlett 611737 mission. Preachers on note We will be praying for you all as Ruth and I settle into a new pattern Mr Gareth Moore 477075 of life in the UK and particularly praying for Janet as she comes to Mr Simon Young 827929 take up the ropes.

Thank you for your support over the nine years that we have been with you. God has a plan for your future. The appropriate prayer for In Memorium this time is “Lord take us from where we are to where you want us to We give thanks to God for the be”. I pray you will have the courage to pray it and then take the life and ministry of: steps that will lead to growth. Miss Mavis Cain died May 2021 God Bless, May she rest in peace, and rise in glory.
