Stationing

Seems appropriate to add a final reflection, even though I have transferred my reflections to a personal journal.
I have been stationed (a Methodist term for placing a Minister in a circuit role initially for 5 years) to the Huddersfield Pennine circuit (subject to all the usual approvals and confirmations etc). It is difficult to comment on somewhere where you have yet to meet the people and worship with them, however, in personal terms this seems a good match. The plan is I will take pastoral responsibility for 3 churches to the south of the town centre.
It means that we will continue to live in Wakefield until Rachael has completed her A levels at New College Pontefract. The churches are only 30 minutes drive away - so it doesn't make sense to live separately (which was one option we were prepared for).
So I have learnt alot - the importance of feedback in encouragement is one for blogging.
But I think it will work better if focused around specific issues. Much of my learning has been difficult to share (hence the return to a written journal).
If you have followed this - thanks for your interest. When I return to blogging it will probably be a different style altogether.
God bless
