The annual meeting of the CTB Board meeting took place last Monday night at the church at Swanmead. A lot of positions stayed the same. Mark Barford remained as chairman, Becky as secretary and Andrew Churchill as treasurer.
Andrew talked about the finances of CTB as well as those of the linked works, the School Team Ministry(STM) and the Feeding the homeless project 58.7. Over the year of CTB had accrued a surplus of £829 and it was agreed that this would be passed on to the Nightshelter. STM had made over £1000 from the sponsored walk in September which would be used to help STM keep out of a loss over the year. 58.7 were running their annual sleep out at Trinity Methodist on the last weekend in November to raise the money to keep the work going for another year. You can send a contribution for either of these activities. More information on the web pages of STM and 58.7.
Mark reported that CAP (Christians Against Poverty)had regularised its arrangements. Rachel, the worker was now working four days a week and receiving remuneration for all her working days. The work is now run jointly with the churches in Brentwood.
A full account of the meeting will be printed as minutes and I’m hoping to publish these on the website in due course.
