The Sankey Valley Circuit welcomes two presbyters new to the Circuit and we look forward to their ministry among us. We give thanks for Sian who joins us as a probationer presbyter having completed her training at Queen’s College. Sian comes from a background primarily of Welsh Methodism. Ruffin Binda and his family come to us from South Africa and face a significant cultural change. We pray that both ministers and their families will soon feel comfortable in their new homes and communities, and that we will learn from the new insights they have to share with us.
