Fifty people from seventeen churches heard Wendy Goodman’s illustrated talk about the conditions she found after the earthquake in Haiti, and the successes that she and the Salvation Army team were able to achieve.
We greeted the Revd Chris Ramsey, new vicar of St Andrew’s, Great Cornard, and we welcomed into membership Stour Valley Vineyard Church represented by its pastor, Andrew Stewart-Darling. We went on to receive various reports, elect officers, consider the highlights of the past twelve months and look to the future.
Full minutes will be available later.
