District Committee update

The District Committee agreed unanimously to support my candidating. The day was good and I was supported tremendously by my Minister and the District Candidate Secretary. The group were thorough, but very gracious, and it was nice to meet a couple of old friends as well.
I now have the Connexional (National) Committee to look forward to at the end of April.

District Committee

We had a useful session with our colleagues from York St John this week. The numbers have dwindled from their group but there are 7 of us going forward. The session helped to challenge us across the different areas of compentency the church is looking to establish. What was very encouraging was that everyone had a very positive experience and this helped to build up confidence. It was good to have the different dynamic of the York group with us.
Tomorrow sees the District day for most of us - I am the only one for the Leeds district and will have to answer questions in 3 sessions during the morning. I am accompanied by Andrew, my minister, who has been very supportive. I am just going to be me - and hope that I can focus on
my story - and where is God in it! It is so easy to go off track.

Circuit support

The Circuit Meeting was very positive. They voted unanimously to support me. It was very affirming and humbling - a great evening for me. Thank you so much God for all the ways in which you show your love and care.
