This was held in St Mark’s Chruch lounge, Chesterfield. In this meeting we welcomed a guest; Cat Hamer, a representative from ‘V’ which is an organisation which rewards volunteer work for 16-25 year olds. Many members grabbed this opportunity to earn some rather nice certificates for 5, 50 and 100 hours of volunteering.
Later in the meeting council members were given the opportunity to represent a charity of their choosing for the council to vote on for our council charity that we will, for the next year, support. Suggested charities were: The Railway children, Ashgate Hospice, Christian aid, Tear fund and Behcets syndrome society. The council voted Tear fund by a majority.
The council discussed the 24 hour prayer/fast that they will be holding on the 1st May 09 and we talked about possible venues. We closed in prayer.
