From the Vicarage

Happy Easter to our church family and local community. We would like to thank all of the volunteers who have supported services and events during Lent and Easter this year. As always we are grateful for your time and efforts.

FROM SALLY IN THE CHURCH OFFICE

I have now left my role in the church office as Church Administrator.

I have been blessed over the past 6 years with fantastic support from colleagues and volunteers from the church family. There are too many people to name but I am grateful to everyone who has made my job easier, whether it is by responding to a (often last minute!) call for help, by quietly “getting on with things” or with words of kindness and encouragement. Finally I am thankful for prayers for me throughout the last 6 years and now as I start my new role at the Diocese of Sheffield next week. Thank you all!
