Update on St John's staff team
We are delighted to let you know that we have made two 'new' appointments! Both are fixed-term, in respect to the arrival of our new Vicar and any subsequent review on staffing, whilst ensuring we can continue with ministry and operations effectively and within budget.
James Corbet, known to many of us already, will join us on 1st August for one year as Youth Minister. He will provide gospel-centred leadership of our youth ministry, with primary responsibility for SOUL (Tuesday evenings) and FUSE (our group for 13-18 year olds, Friday evenings). He will also attend and contribute to Sunday morning and evening services, lead and/or preach as agreed, and attend the weekly Wednesday staff meeting. James will move into the Youth Worker's property whilst in post.
Emily Stein, also known to many of us already, will retain her role as Cleaner and ad-hoc Verger and will start a new role as Operations Assistant. She will provide operational and administrative support to the staff team, with particular responsibility for room bookings, hire administration, financial data entry and buildings support. Emily is suitably qualified for this role and has been eager to be of even more value to the team.
Please pray for James and Emily as they familiarise themselves with their respective roles, and give them a good St John's welcome if you see them!
