A SECOND YEAR FOR BETH 

Beth Skelton is our intern at St Mary's and Sale West for 2019-20. She joins us for a second year, developing our work with children and youth across the parish. Having completed Youth for Christ's Year Out and being based with us and Trafford Youth for Christ the previous year, Beth is remaining with us through the New Wine Discipleship Year programme this year. 
 
Julie, Shauna and I are all so grateful for all Beth has brought to our ministry during 2018-19 and are excited she is continuing to work with us, growing in her gifts and developing our work further! Alongside her voluntary work with us, Beth will receive a day's training with New Wine each week and will also be seeking part-time work. Please be praying for her and the local network of New Wine Discipleship Year students that she is part of this year, that she would receive all God has for her during this time, and that the Holy Spirit would release the gifts within her to advance our church's ministry even further.
 
And please continue to make her feel welcome and part of the St Mary's and Sale West family. Simple expressions of care can mean a lot during weeks where there are deadlines to be met and young people to be supported! Thank you so much for continuing to pray for and champion our internships here at St Mary's and Sale West - they are vital in impacting the 200+ children and young people we reach every week.
