Support Services Update - March 2024

Dear Friends

Thank you for taking the time to read our latest Monthly Update.

Spring has sprung, or is about to at least, and our season of change in our Specialist Teams continues apace. We have successfully appointed a new General Counsel, who begins on the 4th April and two new Finance Officers are stepping into our Finance Team. Our Finance Manager, Ian Wakeham, will be leaving us at the beginning of April and with other changes too, the situation hasn’t been easy and remains challenging at times, so we would value your prayers. If you have any finance or legal queries do send them to supportservices@baptist.org.uk and we will forward them to the correct person.

We continue to take comfort in God’s word and are thankful for all these new appointments who join our collective determination to serve our churches, associations, and colleges.
May Romans 15:13 encourage you as you continue to serve Him: May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Our monthly updates aim to provide you with helpful support in your mission and ministry. Please let us know of any topics you would appreciate articles on. This month's update includes new information on:

• The Charities Act and CIO changes
• The Baptist Assembly
• Baptist Insurance suggestions
• Pensions Information
• Support for Historic Buildings
• Utility Aid
• Gift Aid reminder

On behalf of the whole team here at BUGB, I would like to wish you a blessed and joyful Easter. We pray every reader will know God’s blessings throughout 2024,
 
Chris Jones 

Support Services Team Leader
