Serving the LEP for my curacy is particularly special to me as I was involved with the Methodist Church throughout my youth, being baptised at Watton Methodist Church aged ten.I grew up in Norfolk, and after leaving to study and work I made my way back here via Southampton and London with some world travel in between. My professional background is in communications and marketing which led me to become a coach and mentor. I sensed a call to ministry working for a church mission project at a secondary school in Wisbech, where I spent six years supporting teenagers and staff.I live in Terrington St. Clement with my husband Craig and children Daniel (20), Hannah (18), William (10) and Samuel (8). In my free time I go for a run or visit our beautiful coast.”Please hold Eleanor and her family in your prayers as she prepares for ordination, and for St. Faith’s as we prepare to receive her into our church family.

On Monday 27th people of all ages from church and community came together for an afternoon of board games - an opportunity to connect, have fun and relax during a dreary October in half term. The idea for a games afternoon came from one of our youth group and it was a resounding success!Folks came first for a soup lunch and then played a variety of games together. We will definitely run it again so watch this space for more details of forthcoming games afternoons!
On 22nd October members of St. Faith’s spent the day at King’s Lynn Town Hall at the Volunteers Fair. The stand holders were joined by ladies from the Prayer Shawl Ministry - who gave out prayer shawls to visitors and delegates.It was a busy day with opportunities to network with many other charitable groups and agencies - wonderful to see so many people doing good things in and around our town.
