Message from Andrew Wood, District Chair

Welcome to our District Website. 

I hope that you’ll find this a really informative, interactive and inspiring way of understanding how we are here to enable the mission and ministry of churches across south central England. 

You’ll find ways into our development and training resources, how to contact our District officers and information about the circuits of the Southampton District – it’s a great way of staying in touch and learning what other circuits & churches are discovering and doing.

You can also find out about learning events in the District & resources such as Rekindle & Fresh Expressions.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on this website so that we can make any changes to make it more accessible or useful.  So if you have any comments, please make them on the Website Comments Form.

I do hope you’ll enjoy using this site and want to come back for more!

On other matters, the time will soon be upon us when we say goodbye to some of our ministers and welcome new ones; to those who are leaving our District we offer our good wishes and God’s blessing and to those who will be arriving in September, we say welcome and hope that they will feel encouraged and appreciated.  We cannot, however, say goodbye and hello without mentioning the departure of Marilyn Pack who has been District Administrator for over 20 years, we are so grateful for all that Marilyn has done and wish her happiness in her well deserved ‘retirement’.  We welcome Sarah Pothecary who joined us on 1^st July and will be taking over a lot of the work that Marilyn has been doing.

Andrew Wood
