I have been so blessed to be part of this wonderful community which has encouraged and supported me throughout my curacy – thank you all so much. However, I am also really excited to embark upon the next stage of this journey as Associate Vicar of Parish of All Saints’, Fulham.What I really loved about this post was the idea of being part of a team. I have so enjoyed working together with Simon here and I really thrive working collaboratively. All Saints, Fulham has a fantastic music tradition (and many of you know how important music is to me!). It also has a real community feel, just like here, which is unusual for a London church. It is involved in outreach work with a lunch for the homeless every Thursday and has great connections with the local schools, especially the Primary School, also offering lots of opportunities for young people.In other words, it is a real mix of things where I feel I can really get involved and together with Fr Peter and the new curate, Simon, can hopefully do some exciting things! - Natasha
Special mention must go to our Community Payback Team (just 2 of them!) who did an amazing job taking all the heavy objects from church to the TWAM van. They even found time to tidy up the logs left from recently cut down dead trees, cut the churchyard grass and finish off laying the path of patio slabs to the new shed. The team arrived at 7.30 am and didn’t stop until they left at 2.45 pm!We are very, very grateful to them.
