Here at FCG, we are greeting the new Chair of our Free Church Education Committee, Professor Graham Handscomb.
Professor Handscomb started this role during the summer, following Julie Grove’s departure. Mrs Grove has served, as Chair on this Committee, for over ten years and although we are saddened that Julie is stepping down, we are heartened by the excellent work she has been able to steer over the last decade. We wish Julie all the best in the wider work she does with the charities she serves with. We wish Graham a warm welcome and ask for your prayers as he works with Sarah, our Education Officer, and the FCEC members, to develop and progress the vital work this Committee does, on behalf of the Free Churches Group and our member churches / member groups.
You can read more about this work HERE.
Our next meeting will be on 30 October, so join us as we pray for this meeting and for our work going forward….
Loving God…
Guide the hearts and minds of the Committee in the spirit of fairness, right thought and speech.
We give thanks to God for all the work of the Committee, especially for the service given by our outgoing Chair, Julie; we ask that you continue to bless the work we do and uphold our new Chair, Graham, as he moves forward in this work.
Impart your supreme wisdom upon the activities of the FCEC and guide them in all they do.
Thank you for being our source of guidance today. Amen.
