Adrian Holt, seen here with his wife Ros (a Worship Leader at Speedwell)
is the Circuit Evangelism Enabler.
He has made a great contribution as co-ordinator of the Alpha Course in Kingswood.

Unfortunately  the Circuit could not raise the necessary funding to  retain Ian Joyner as Resource Development worker. We thank him for his unique contribution to the community, and pray that his talents will be snapped up and used effectively.

The 'lay' representatives of the Circuit are a team of 'Circuit Stewards'
