I met with Jane our outgoing secretary a few days ago and we went through all the paperwork. It’s all fairly self explanatory and I think I should be able to get my head around it all. The new will meet the old later in the month and hand over officially.

What I can’t understand is why the church doesn’t have online banking and is still paying most things with cheques. She did say that they had tried for it but had been turned down. I’ll need to chat to the new treasurer and see what can be done. Maybe we’ll be able to open a new bank account if there aren’t too many direct debits, these can be a nightmare to change.

And the spiritual side of all this? Not there at present, this is like in Acts where Godly men were set aside to run the practical things to free up the preachers. I guess the spiritual aspect will grow over the next year as we seek what God wants us to do here.
