Not exactly the boring part, but this gives an idea of how the chapel life is organised: the committees, and who is the main point of contact for particular issues:
Minister: At present we have Rev'd Joy Rulton as a circuit minister with care of Higherland and St Lukes.
The circuit Superintendent Minister is Rev'd John Palmer.
Contact with Ministers is via the circuit website www.northstaffordshiremethodists.org.uk
Church Council : Main ‘governing body’ of the local church Minuting Secretary – Geraldine Craig Treasurer - Mike Stevenson [also day-to-day running / admin sec] Senior Steward - Bill Symonds
Pastoral Committee : A committee made up of pastoral leaders who concern themselves with the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of the members and adherents of the church. Secretary – Mrs Sue Hartland
Property and Finance Committee : Looks after the finances and oversees the general care and maintenance of the church site and building. Secretary – Mr. Jim Maland
Family Life Committee : Representatives of all organisations and clubs that are a part of the life of the church. Secretary – Mrs. Margaret Stevenson
Then there are areas of responsiblity, not all listed here: Junior Church : Exactly what it says ~ NOT the 'church of the future' - they ARE the church right now! Co-ordinated by Glynis Leech Bereavement Care : Essential support for families when they need it. Co-ordinated by Jenny Hall Worship Team : See the Worship Team page ~ essentially working with the ministers and preachers to enrich our worship. Secretary - Helen Lovatt |
