A BIG thank you!
Association giving to Home Mission up 6%
Total given was over £350,000
Thank you for this tremendous effort in the current difficult economic conditions!
Nationally giving to Home Mission down 1.2%
Total giving was just over £4m*
This is as expected but the financial pressures remain and there will still be a significant deficit for 2011.
The increased giving within HEBA will help in financing the work of the Association and will help ensure that grants can continue to the 28 churches and chaplaincies supported by Home Mission in our Association. Around 80% of Home Mission giving from the Association is used in this way. |

Listening to God and to one another
As we continue to explore our future together we remain constantly aware of the need to be a people who are committed to prayer and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Many would argue that this reality is taken for granted but there is a sense in which we need to continually re-affirm this as the consultation continues. To this end the Baptist Union has prepared Futures Prayer Focus 1 ‘Listening for the voice of God’ which which it is hoped will be the first of many. The purpose is not so much to offer an update on the process itself but to foster an appropriate attitude and spirit within all those who are affected by, and participate in, the important task in which we are now engaged. |

Be joyful always; pray continuously; give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16
