Revd Sheelagh led her final service of the summer before jetting back to America. During the service, Revd Sheelagh conducted the commissioning of two Lay Leaders of Worship, the Assistant Sacristan and Sexton and four additional Chalice Assistants to work with existing team members. Our prayers go with Revd Sheelagh who has given so much during our vacancy and also with our new team members as they begin a new chapter at St Botolph's.

The congregation also started the weekly countdown to our Hymns of Praise service on 15 November by choosing their personal favourites from the hymns sung during the service.  'Voting' is either via slips available in Church each week or electronically,  every Sunday until early November when the final choices will form part of the service.
