A new year brings with it a feeling of optimism with longer days and a sense of positive change, and at All Saints there is much to look forward to. Following on from the success of the men’s groups, there will be a series of women’s events starting soon organised by a team led by Ruth Totterdell, the search for a new Music Minister is underway, and the Lent Lectures begin in February.
Many volunteers help out in so many different ways at church in order to allow it to function smoothly, and as a churchwarden it is a privilege, and at the same time very humbling to be part of this group. The role of a churchwarden is multifaceted, with aspects that are sometimes challenging but others that are highly rewarding spiritually. Being part of the wardens team gives a wonderful insight to the workings of church life and it is great to be able to serve in this way.
