01/10/2011: A Stewardship "Half-Term" Report was included in the September issue of the Church Magazine, CONTACT, which will also be given at the October Church Council Meeting.  In essence, it says that the Tithes part of Stewardship seemed satisfactory but we would need to review what we do about Time and Talents.  Some ideas have evolved following the request for prayer about the Vision of next Stewardship Campaign in March, but more prayer is needed.

05/03/11: Members and friends were asked in the latest edition of Contact to spend some time during this year praying for the Stewardship Team to obtain the Vision for the next Stewardship Campaign, 2013-2015, and for inspiration on how to organise it.

30/05/10: The Stewardship Campaign 2010 - 2013  has been successfully completed and all that now remains is for the Team to keep and eye on how things are going, and take any appropriate action as necessary.  We will next "spring into action" in the Summer of 2012 when we start planning the next major Stewardship Campaign.  So in the meantime, thanks to all who supported us in this current campaign, and if anyone has something very important about stewardship that they want to get off their chest, just see me around church and have a chat. Archie Whymark, Stewardship Co-ordinator

04/05/10: We received a good feedback (42%), which is good as far as survey responses go, from our Stewardship Survey.  Now we have digest the results and see what God wants us to do next.  Watch this space.

21/03/10: Stewardship Survey - The Stewardship Campaign has been successfully completed.  The next step is to obtain feedback on how it was perceived and to identify improvements for the future.  A survey has been sent out to a sample of Church Members and other copies of the survey have been left for collection and completion at church by interested parties.

27/02/10: The Stewardship Campaign kicked off to an encouraging start on Saturday evening, 27th February.

07/02/10: Stewardship Launch.  The invitations to the Stewardship Launch Meeting, plus a special Stewardship Magazine, were distributed on Sunday, 7th February, with the help of the Contact Distributors, collected by members or sent out by post the next day. So the next thing members need to do, is to complete and return the Booking Form back to the Stewardship Coordinator, Archie, in the reply envelope by post or put it in one of the special “Post Boxes” in the Church Foyer or Coffee Bar by Sunday, 21st February at the latest, so we can order enough food.  Please respond with a “nil” return, even if you are not able to come, so that we know you really did receive an invitation in the first place and to ensure we did not miss anybody out.

23/01/10: The 24-hour Stewardship Prayer Vigil took place on Friday and Saturday, 22nd and 23rd January, 2010.  It was well supported and opened and closed with a short act of worship by Steve Austin.  This photograph was taken before the opening act of worship and shows (left to right) Derek Hooper, Steve Austin and Jean Lyon.
