As many of you may know I am currently a curate at King’s Lynn Minster, so I am already familiar with the town and love living here. My family and I are keen to move to this different area of the town and start exploring. I am enthusiastic about getting to know people in the church and in the wider community, particularly in the estates which are such a big part of the parish and in the schools. My role will include helping to pioneer new things so that St. Faiths can connect well with those living in the estates. I would love to chat over a cup of tea, please do get in touch!”

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.

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!
