## North Fylde Circuit Annual Report 2020-2021 The North Fylde Circuit has employed four ordained ministers and two part-time time lay workers during this period. The aim of the circuit is to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ in word and deed and provide communities of welcome and worship in the communities of Fleetwood, Pilling, Knott End, Thornton-Cleveleys, Cleveleys Park and Poulton-le-Fylde. In the last year we have bidden farewell to two of our ministers and one of our lay workers and thank them for all that they have contributed to the life of the Circuit. We look forward to welcoming a presbyter and probationer presbyter to replace those who have left. We shall also extend the hours of our remaining lay worker to cover the work of the lay worker who has left us to continue her ministerial training in another circuit. The churches of the circuit have experienced severe financial pressures due to the covid-19 pandemic and the circuit has done its best to support them during this difficult period. There are some signs that the worst of the pandemic appears to be over and congregational numbers and community activities are recovering though not yet to pre-pandemic levels. Alongside the challenges we have faced as a circuit have been several new developments in the churches, particularly in work with children and young people. The circuit is in good heart as it plans for the future and seeks to both build on past achievements and explore new ways of being God’s people in the communities of Wyre and Over-Wyre. ## Rev Will Hunter Superintendent Minister On behalf of the Circuit Leadership Team and North Fylde Circuit Meeting 21.03.2022 ## Name of Circuit NORTH FYLDE METHODIST CIRCUIT ## **Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) for the year ende** |**Income**
