Leadership Meetings 
Six circuits were visited this winter for annual circuit meetings. The staff from the District Resources team visits each circuit every three years, leading sessions on Healthy Churches, Healthy Boards, Healthy Workers and Healthy Stewardship. The meetings were well-attended, and evaluations from the events have shown participants felt encouraged, networked, and equipped through the meetings.
