MWiB Zoom Inauguration Service
In September, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly District Methodist Women in Britain held their inauguration service to welcome the Rev'd Cathy Arscott as their new president. During their worship-filled service of fellowship, a gift was also shown to be presented to the outgoing president Jill Nute which can be seen below in the later presentation to Jill.

Vice-President Carolyn Lawrence's visit to the district
It was wonderful to have the Vice-President of the Methodist Conference here in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in October 2020. Although the visit looked somewhat different to what was planned, it was a blessing to have Carolyn with us sharing in Bible Study over Zoom, and lovely to have her preaching at our very own Gwennap Pit. This was enjoyed by those who were able to attend the service. Below are a selection of photos from her time with us, and especially note the wonderful pasty bag!
Welcome to our new District Administrator
We are pleased to welcome Georgia Jenkin as our new District Administrator. Here is a little introduction from Georgia herself:
It is an absolute blessing to be able to say a big hello from myself, as I start this new role as the District Administrator.
My name is Georgia Jenkin, and I grew up with my family in the St Austell circuit. I was a part of the youth work across the circuit and district, and also trained as a local preacher as a teenager. After studying Theology at Cliff College, I went on to work for churches in Sheffield and Hampshire. I have been involved in church work and leadership in many different ways, from children's and youth work, to preaching, administrative work and dealing with safeguarding.
Having now returned to Cornwall with my husband and our daughter, I am so excited for this new adventure God has in store for us as a family. I am so looking forward to getting to know you all in Methodist Church here in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
