My ministry includes assisting with and leading worship services, preaching and teaching, pastoral ministry, including taking funerals, and group work.  My journey, like that of most Christians, has given me hope and joy, as well as great surprises and moments of deep challenge. My favourite hymn is ‘Dear Lord and Father…’ because I experience God in that insistent ‘still, small voice,’ that inner calm amid the noise and confusion of life that calls me on and always calls me home to where I belong.

I am Licensed Lay Minister and as a part of my ministry I enjoy working with older people.
