My Circuit and Churches
As most of you already know, I'll be in the Norwich circuit in the East Anglia District. Norwich is on the east coast of England, in the south--northeast of London. I will have "pastoral charge" over four churches (this info comes from what they sent me):
Trinity Church, Thorpe Marriott--47 members including children. Methodist core with many other denominations, and with Anglicans and Baptists frequently leading worship in range of styles. Modern building on modern estate.
Drayton--27 members. Village on edge of built-up area. Several people with learning and other disabilities in the congregation who are adults of various ages (but children's work recently begun in conjuction with the Anglican Church0. Small building, recently much modernised, traditional Methodist worship.
Horsford--16 members. Village with much new development for Norwich residents. One or two young people (but new childrens' work just established) and the rest are older adults. Traditional Methodist worship.
St. Faith--13 elderly members. Traditional Norfolk village (Norfolk is the "county" Norwich is in). Sold chapel last year and now share the Parish Church with Anglican and Methodist worship alternate Sundays. Similar number of Anglicans so congregation typically 25-30.
All churches are in positive frame of mind and have been growing. Recently established work with children in three of them provides new opportunities.
That's the info I have. I'll report more as I know it once I get there!
