Dear All,

I am writing to let you know that Alison Ratcliffe has resigned from her role as Mission Enabler.

We are sorry to see Alison leave the role and we are deeply grateful for all she has contributed during her three years as Mission Enabler. Her faithful service, creativity and commitment to the life and mission of the church have been a real blessing, and we thank God for all she has given.

Her last working day will be Thursday 27^th August.

We will have the opportunity to publicly thank Alison at the 10.30 service on Sunday 6^th September.

Please pray for Alison in this transition time and for us as a church as we navigate this change.

God bless

Phil

Can you help the tech team? We need a structured cabling installer or telecoms technician who is skilled at working with CAT6 terminations, specifically Punch Down Keystone Jacks. It’s only a small job, but due to the high volume of data on the network, they must be made to a high standard. If you can help, or know someone who could, please talk to Tim Scholes. Thank you.
