## **Rhondda Ministry Area Report 2024** 

27 members were present at the Annual Business Meeting with the clergy of the Rhondda. 

Fr. Philip opened the meeting with prayer and a summary of his report as ministry area leader, giving various thanks and acknowledgements. 

At the meeting Fr. Haydn asked for a vote of thanks to be given to Fr. Philip, as he departs our ministry area. 

The accounts for 2023 were presentedand were accepted.  It was noted that the format of the accounts is set by the Representative Body and cannot be changed: The meeting was told that the treasurers were looking into producing a different format for congregational meetings. 

Appointments and elections were made as required by the Church in Wales Constitution. 

Deanery conference and diocesan conference reports were presented by Fr. Philip and accepted.  It was noted that the next deanery conference is to be held on 17[th] July 2024. 

It was agreed that the previous arrangements for independent examination of the accounts would continue. 

Fr. Philip closed the Annual Business Meeting with the grace and a call to prayer. 

During 2024 Fr Haydn England Simon retired and Fr Philip Leyshon left the Rhondda to continue his Ministry in the Cynon Valley. We thank them both for their caring Ministries in the Rhondda Valleys over many years. 

Many activities and events were organised throughout the year and we thanks all involved in the organisation of each event for their help and support and also thank those who attended the events.
