INFORMATION from the Superintendent Minister:


On Wednesday, 21st April there will be a District Conference "Taking Stock", held at Wesley College for Ministers and senior lay leaders. This is an opportunity to reflect on how the District and Circuit "Reshaping for Mission" programme is working out and to look at the future. 
The day will run from 10 a.m. -  approx. 4 p.m.
In attendance will be Martyn Atkins, general secretary of the Conference and John Howard, Chair of Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury District. We shall consider all our discussion within the context of Discipleship.

Our Circuit has been allocated up to ten places at the day, open to both Ministers and Lay leaders; but those who wish to attend have to "book in", and we have to ensure a balanced attendance representative of the Circuit. It will be possible to book lunch at Wesley College in advance should you wish to! Otherwise the day is free!
If you are interested in attending, please let me know as soon as possible.
If we have more than ten people wishing to attend the Circuit Leadership team have the responsibility for ensuring that there is a balanced representation. Those offering to attend will be informed as soon as possible whether they have been successful.
