What’s been happening lately? News from our Church Secretary…
Hello everybody!
Gillian, Pauline and I went to Carver at the end of June to meet other Cumbria URC Elders and members to hear about the plans toreduce the number of ministers in the county. This is not just going to affect Cumbria. All Synods will be affected one way or another. As I said at the July Church Meeting, Scoping for Cumbria will probably reduce from 4 ministers to 3 but the Synod Moderator was at pains to point out that nothing would happen too soon or too quickly and that there would be more consultation.
As you will probably know by now, Geleza is returning to Zimbabwe for a holiday in September. His home area struggles with a lot of poverty and he would love to be able to take some clothes back to help people there. There is a box in the Worship Space on Sunday. Please put your donations in there. The response has been excellent so far. Thanks to everyone!
We have all been very sorry to hear of Nick’s decision to give up the Treasurership, but we understand his reasons. He has been doing the job for a long time and has certainly earned a break! We thank him for what he has done over the years. Martyn and the Elders will be looking at ways of filling the gap!
