We are pleased to announce that the Revd Dr Christie Gilfeather, currently Assistant Curate in the Welwyn team, has been appointed as Curate in Charge of St Giles, Codicote. As you may be aware, this is a part time role and so Christie will remain as Assistant Curate in the wider Welwyn Team, continuing to serve at St Michael’s Wolmer Green as she has for the past two years, alongside her responsibilities at St Giles, until the end of her three year curacy. In the late summer of 2025, Christie will be licensed as Team Vicar of Codicote and will also be pursuing academic work and teaching alongside parish ministry. Please remember Christie and Ryan, as well as the people of Woolmer Green and Codicote, in your prayers. We are delighted that they are continuing their ministry within the Team. Dates and arrangements will be confirmed in due course, but it is expected that Christie and Ryan will move to the Vicarage at Codicote in the summer. Until Christie takes up the post here, services and pastoral care will continue to be supported by the Revd Dr David Munchin and the Welwyn Team. The contact number is still 01438 840964.
We are so lucky to have regular teams of people who work hard to keep our church looking good inside and out. Our cleaning, flower and mowing teams all take turns and do their bit quietly behind the scenes. Recently Jane, our Church Warden, organised a Working Party Day to spruce up the church inside and out. You can see some pictures here We are also grateful to individuals like Ash, who use their skills to restore, renovate and decorate areas of the church that need attention. Ash has recently restored the notice boards and front doors for us. You can see some pictures here
