Within this next week we will mark the beginning of a New Methodist Year. The date when ministers who have moved start new ministries, the date when we ourselves will mark changes within our circuit staff and churches. So a happy New Year.

These last few months I have been involved in conversations with a number of churches about the future. To close, to join with others and forming a new church, to start a new project. I recognise how difficult it has been for many faithful people, and we do indeed give thanks for the work that has been done in the past, the present and into the future.
Words from Bede Circuit
This week, we held a messy church session at Kibblesworth. This session was based on the story of the lost sheep. Lots of sheep themed crafts and we even had a sheep trail around the village. Families were encouraged to collect a sheet and then go and find the several hidden sheep which had been ‘lost’ around the village. Many of the local businesses had found one, some of the church members who lived in the village had managed to find a sheep and then display them in their window for the families to find.
