Grant Awards
We are delighted to report that RMCC has recently been awarded grants of £3,000 and £15,500 from Heart of England Community Foundation, a charity that raises money to fund and develop local community activity across the West Midlands & Warwickshire. The grants, from their Coronavirus Resilience Fund and Doing Things Differently Fund respectively, are to provide support to organisations helping those most affected by Coronavirus.
RMCC plans to use these grants to enable us to restart some of our face to face social groups: quilting, knitting/crochet and baking groups, and also resume our youth work, whilst ensuring the provision of a safe environment compliant with current Coronavirus regulations. The grant will enable us to provide the necessary ppe and cleaning, as well as additional materials and resources needed for socially distanced activities. We trust that the provision of a welcoming and safe environment will reassure our local community of our commitment to their health and safety.
Black Lives Matter
Rev Dr Barbara Glasson President of Conference says " We are called to embody a gracious, loving spirit of inclusion and understanding. There is no excuse for racism. All people are made in God’s image. We are one body in Christ Jesus".
Standing Order 013B says "The Methodist Church ‘believes that racism is a denial of the Gospel'".
We are sorry when we have not listened carefully enough and not challenged the assumptions of white privilege and bias and we repent of the Churches part in Racism.
