C _____ Report
from April’s Annual General Meeting The 38 church members who attended the AGM enjoyed a lunch of jacket potatoes with various fillings and a wonderful choice of sweets and our thanks go to Gordon and Myra for supplying such a splendid meal. It was agreed to make two recommendations to the June Church Council.
Sadly we were not able to appoint a new steward to replace Gordon Claughton but we hope that someone may consider that God is calling them to this position. Brenda Chapman was appointed as a representative to church Council and will serve for 6 years. Discussion took place as to how welcoming we are as a church and we watched a short video about “Hope 08”_____
Ministry
in the Castleford Circuit Rev Wayne Grewcock from the Pontefract and Normanton Circuit has agreed to come to Castleford in September 2008. He will work part-time as he already works for a company called “Twelve Baskets” which produces resources for worship via the internet and also material for school assemblies. Wayne’s main remit will be with the Café Project, he will work elsewhere in the circuit but will not have Pastoral Charge of any of the churches. The Circuit Staff and Stewards are looking to employ a Lay worker and as it stands at the moment it would appear that our superintendent Minister Rev Robin Fox will have the overall responsibility for Trinity.

to all who supported the Christian Aid quiz night a great evening was had by all
and a special thanks to those who worked hard in the kitchen and to our
excellent quiz master. Can we take this opportunity to remind you that Christian
Aid week begins on May 11th and that your donations are very welcome? We would
also like to thank in advance all those who will be traipsing the streets
pushing envelopes through letterboxes and then returning to retrieve them
hopefully full of money for this very worthy cause. Please pray for those
who so this hard work and if you feel you could help out in any way even just
delivering a few envelopes to your neighbours then please see Gillian or Vera
today. Thanks again for all your support.
