STATED ANUAL MEETING

I'm just back from the stated anual meeting. Mike Robertson encouraged folk to come along to the meeting and he wasn't disappointed. We had a record turn out, and heard an encouraging report from Jean Barron on the finances of the church. We have continued to meet all the financial targets that we budgeted for, so we have much to be grateful for. In the coming year, we have some major upgrades of the buildings to do, including a major re-wiring programme, which will require substantial funds. We have a new treasurer - Julie Douglas - together with new Board members, as well as a recently appointed chairman, Mike Robertson, and clerk to the Board - Lloyd Arthur, so we look to the coming year with a lot of optimism. God has been so good to us in terms of providing for all our needs, and we trust him for the year ahead.

I was glad to be there. One of the most intriguing comments of the night came from Mike who said that, at the recent MSM training day, a number of people from Hilton had discovered that,amongst our many strengths, one of our weaknesses is (lack of)evaluation. A prophetic voice from within our midst has been saying that for years. Perhaps we need to listen to each other better than we sometimes do?
