The United Reformed Church Mission Council is meeting at The Hayes, Swanwick, Derbyshire, from 16 to 18 November. 

Mission Council is the executive body of the General Assembly and meets twice a year to reflect on and make decisions about the day-to-day life of the Church. 

Items on the agenda for this meeting include: the Children’s and Youth Work Review; Safeguarding's Past Case Review; a proposal for a new model of non-stipendiary ministry; carrying forward the legacy of Windermere’s work; financial planning for the next three years; how can we listen better to our elders and ministers; and a review of Greenbelt.

All Mission Council papers are now available online.

The URC communications team will be reporting on Mission Council. The news pages and Facebook page will include updates on the main decisions made throughout the meeting with a daily report being posted after the close of business each day. A full report is also planned for inclusion in the December/January issue of 'Digest' in Reform magazine.
