Circuit Meeting at Beech Hill

 

The circuit meeting was held at Beech Hill Church on 20th September attended by over 70 members from the circuit.

 

The meeting agreed and was pleased to invite the Rev Phil Horner to continue his ministry in the circuit for a further three years from 2013.

 

Rev Phil Horner

 

We heard that all churches in the circuit will be asked to explore the idea that we are "a discipleship movement shaped for mission" in the period between Easter and Pentecost 2013. A group is working on material suitable for a variety of services, house and study groups. During this period there will also be an opportunity for churches to take part in a 24 hour prayer event.

 

Rev Jenny Spouge shared with us a campaign against trafficking. You can find further information about this work on this website.
