Here are some photographs of the welcome service for our wonderful friend Christvin at Castletown Methodist Church on the Isle of Man.
Christvin has been serving in the neighbouring Burnley and Pendle Circuit for several years as a lay pastor, and for the past two years as a student candidate for the Methodist presbyteral ministry. During this time, as well as ministering to his own churches in that circuit, he has been shadowing Rev Ian here at Trinity, in order to experience working in a bigger church community.
Christvin won the hearts of his new parishioners by speaking in Manx at his special service. Everyone at Trinity sends their fondest wishes.
