Circuit Trustee report 2023124
Review of Circuit activities
Colin Watkins sat down (retired) as Superintendent minister in July 2023 and Rev Catherine
Dixon was inducted on 3rd September 2023 as the new Superintendent, with her
appointment as a presbyter in the circuit extended until 2029. A circuit administrator, Julie
Smith, was appointed on a part-time basis from July 2023 to support the smooth running of
the circuit- she is based in an office at Ely Methodist Church.
The minister of the Newmarket sector, Rev Sangwoo Seo, came to the end of his stationing
within our circuit in August 2024 and moved to a new station in Harlesden, West London.
We were delighted to be able to appoint a probationer {trainee) presbyter, Rev Laura
Martin, and she and her young family moved into the redecorated Soham manse in July
2024. The Newmarket manse, Sangwoo and his family's previous home, will now remain
vacant until we are able to sell it on the open market.
The circuit continues to resource the churches through the provision of preachers for their
weekly services. The circuit has continued to assist and oversee governance matters such
as Safeguarding and GDPR, providing training and guidance across the circuit in these
matters and in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion for those who require it.
Nakulabye Primary School in Uganda was supported for a second year as our circuit
overseas project and a number of fund-raising activities across the circuit have taken place
in aid of that work. The circuit also encouraged fund raising for a number of other charities..
All We Can, M8thodist Homes and Action For Children among others, and has increased its
grant for the Ely branch of Christians against Poverty up to £2500 per year for a further
three year period. A third grant was given to the Pulse Mission among the senior schools
in the area and we have been informed that this project has now been closed. We have
emp5oyed a Lay Youth Worker at Red Lodge for a four-year contract which comes to an end
in October 2024.
The circuit has provided the churches of the circuit with various grants for repairs and
improvements to buildings.
