We are delighted that the Reverend Lisa Wakeman who was ordained Deacon on 20th June 2026 at Birmingham Cathedral will be joining us as Curate. She will be working alongside Rev Mandy across All Saints, Shard End and St Barnabas, Kingshurst. We feel blessed to have her.Almighty God,Give your servant Lisa, newly ordained as Deacon, the needful gifts of grace.Make her faithful in your work,steadfast in her faith,and joyful in your service.Pour into her your Holy Spirit,that she may be an example of your love and compassion.Give her grace to search out the lost,to care for the poor and the distressed,and to build up your Church.Through Jesus Christ our Lord,who came not to be served but to serve. Amen.
