Easter Bonnet Competition

 

 

Conference update

The Methodist Council has agreed that the Conference cannot meet as planned in Telford in June and will look at ways for the Conference to meet in an alternative form. The officers of the Conference working together will now look at ways of bringing the proposals for this alternative meeting to an additional meeting of the Council.  
 
The restrictions on groups meeting has meant that our Synod will not be able to meet. Thus, full consideration to God in Love Unites Us, cannot be given. The Council therefore also agreed that the debate and voting on the provisional resolutions will be deferred until the 2021 Conference. This also means that any other business (eg memorials) relating to those resolutions will not be considered this year. If you have some prepared send them to me; or leave them till next year.
 
Please note that the conference office will be requesting the pieces of information which enable them to produce the Conference Agenda, which is being prepared in the usual way and to the usual timescales.

Thy Kingdom Come Grants

 

 

District Children's Support Fund

As you are aware we have had to close the District Children’s Holiday Fund. The good news is there is still a substantial amount of money left in the Holiday Account which needs to be used. It has been agreed by The Resourcing Missions Committee that this money is “ringfenced” for Churches in the District to apply to help with costs in running projects benefiting disadvantaged children.
The maximum amount of any claim is £500 and a Church can apply at any time using the attached form and send it electronically to Tim Lorimer who will process your application and give a decision within six weeks of receipt. The application will need the support of the hosting Church and circuit superintendent. Church’s cannot apply for retrospective funding.
We would hope that individuals and groups that have contributed in the past to the Holiday Fund will still wish to do so knowing that there money will still be used for Children’s Projects.  For more information please contact Tim Lorimer   on lorimertim@yahoo.co.uk 07971899084.
