PASTORAL LETTER
Happy New Year
As we step into January 2026, we do so as a people shaped by God’s faithfulness and carried by hope. A new year always brings a sense of fresh beginnings, new diaries, new plans, and new possibilities, but it also invites us to pause and reflect on the steady presence of God who journeys with us through every season of life.
The year ahead will no doubt hold both joys and challenges for our Circuit and for the wider world. Yet as Methodists we are rooted in a tradition that trusts in God’s renewing grace and calls us to “watch over one another in love.” At the start of this year, we are reminded that our strength is not found in having all the answers, but in walking together in faith, prayer, and service.
John Wesley encouraged the early Methodists to make good use of time, not as something to be rushed through, but as a gift to be offered back to God. As we look ahead, may we seek to use our time well, growing deeper in discipleship, strengthening our relationships within and beyond our churches, and responding with compassion to the needs of our communities.
We hope that the 2026 newsletters will share stories of worship, mission, and everyday faith from across the Circuit. Each story being a reminder that God is at work among us in acts of kindness, in faithful worship, in quiet perseverance, and in mission.
Grace and peace to you all for the year ahead.
