Along with many other organisations in the community the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic remain and the impact of the pandemic will continue to be explored during the coming year.
The Rev Tricia Williams retired in July 2022 and her ministry in the Circuit over the past seven years was marked by a farewell service which was held at Little Common Methodist Church. The Rev Crawford Logan joined the Ministerial team in September 2022, having previously being stationed in the aarton on Sea section of the Tendring Circuit in Essex. The Circuit Leadership Team ICLTI has met regularly during the year, together with the Presbyters, to review and develop the attivities of the Circuit so as to support the work of the local churches. The Superintendent and members of the CLT held Conversations with each of the churches in the circuit over the year to enable them to review their ministry, mission. their current f5nancial sttuation and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. These conversations continue to inform the development of Circutt policy and future plannin& A Circuit vision day was held at Trinity Methodist Church, facilitated by members of the South East District Learning Network. Representatives from all of the circutt churches met together to explore ways of developing the life, mission and ministry of the Circuit which would then faulitate mission within the circuit churches.

As part of this process the Circuit Mission statement will be revisited so as to more closely define the present work and witness of the Methodist Church in the area. It is envisaged that the next change in the ministerial team will take place in 2025. While at present there is no immediate need to look at how the presbyterial team will be maintained as it is envisioned that both ministers will be stationed in the circuit for the next three and five years.
