The diocesan children's committee - doesn't sound very exciting, but these are key people in supporting me in my job, and some have been key people for years and year in encouraging churches in the diocese to take children's work seriously and do it well. And they have been hands-on too - in training, in this year's Big Splash and in their own parishes where there are some really Good News stories that should be heard. Another day perhaps.
It's one of those cyclical times: both formally as the three-yearly elections to boards come round, and in the more organic way in which life takes people in and out of involvement with specific activities. Sad when people drop out - and doubly sad when the reasons are sad - family or personal illness for example.
So we grieve and pray - and look for the people who will now step in and carry the baton. Fancy a job? No pay but plenty of satisfaction...

reasons to join children's committee and/or Board of Ed.
Nice choccy biscuits (which I can't have) yummy sandwiches and great donuts (to eat that is, not referring to describing people on children's committee)
Hi, I am another "committee member" and can vouch for the chocy biscuits etc!!
