Diocesan Council for Mission Notes

The DCM held a Committee Meeting on16th January 2019 in the Woodlands Hotel.

There was a full agenda which ran late so it was agreed to defer the item on Mission Sunday Project for 2019 to our next committee meeting as it would need more time for discussion and allow members to investigate options available to us.
It was agreed that the 2018 Mission Sunday Project decision to support the Peter McVerry Trust was a popular choice and very well received throughout the Diocese. Note if any envelope donations are still outstanding please send immediately to our Treasurer Ed Hardy as he needs to finalise the accounts before we present the cheque to Peter McVerry on Wed 27th February 2019 in the Woodlands Hotel (see details on separate advertisement).

Rev Charles McCartney was appointed as Diocesan Representative on the General Synod Council for Mission
The final figure for our donation towards the water tank project in Swaziland has now reached €7300.00 and will be posted off to USPG by 21st January
