Notices of Week of 23 September 2024
HELP US GET ORGANISED
We are looking for people to help us get organised. If you have the ability to bring order where there is “minor chaos” we have a number of small projects that you might be interested in. Basically, we have some “discrete” areas that need organising to help us be more efficient. Full details of the areas we have at the moment can be viewed here: Organising Projects
AN EVENING OF TAIZE PRAYER
The Ripon Churches Working Together are supporting a series of Taize services which we hope to hold every other month around the churches of Ripon. This service then will hopefully be the first of many – Taize Prayer Service of Song and Reflection on Sunday 29 September, 6.30 pm at Allhallowgate Methodist Church. Details here.

Everyone is welcome, so let your families and friends know. Please sign up here and let us know you are coming, that way we can be safe, and ensure there are enough cakes to go around!!
We hope you can come, children please bring your adults, join the fun and shine!
MISSION PARTNERS
Every three years our Mission partners are reviewed and whilst we feel it most appropriate to continue with many of our current partners, there is room for you to make suggestions in October. PCC had list of criteria for our charities see below. Please click here for an information sheet on current Mission Partners (2022 – 2024 inclusive).
PCC CRITERIA RE OUTWARD GIVING
Committed to 10% tithe
70-80% of available money should be given to explicitly Christian partners with a bias towards those whose work is of an evangelistic nature and whose approach is in keeping with HT ‘s spiritual ethos
Ideally between half and three quarters of our outward giving should be directed overseas
Consideration should be given to supporting the whole age range
We are concerned to maintain a continuity of giving particularly to our “key” partners over a number of years
There should be good communication, ideally with a personal contact at HT
There should be a good system of accountability.
So please look out for voting slips in October so that we can look forward to another three years of fruitful partnership.

MISSION PARTNER FOCUS – KAJO-KEJI CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
Please pray for the life and work of Kajo-Keji Christian College, training pastors, evangelists, teachers and others in South Sudan:-
- Staffing needs, especially on the Degree course, as previous longstanding Dutch colleagues have now left, and there is a shortage of suitably qualified staff
- For financial sustainability when sources of income are few and there are many needs – both for day to day living, and for larger capital projects
- For John and Cathie Rutter working in the College (and Diocese) this autumn – for safety in travel, health, and to be a help and blessing
