We give thanks for the people of our Circuit as we seek to live out our calling as the disciples of Jesus and ask for your prayers as the Circuit faces the challenge of redefining itself in the context of the changing face of Methodism. Recognising that the future form the church will be different to that of the past, that ordained ministers are in increasingly short supply, and that many lay leaders of the Circuit are completing their term of office, we pray for a fresh vision of the church of the future.
