In the cathedral order of service it explains: "Deacons are ordained so that the people of God may be better equipped to make Christ known. Theirs is a life of visible self-giving."
Gill will serve her curacy here with us at St Francis, working and training with Rev Julian, for the next three years. Keep an eye out for her as she cycles around the streets of the neighbourhood, getting to know people!
Following her ordination, Gill was welcomed by the St Francis family with an afternoon buffet which was enjoyed both in the lounge and spilling out into the sunshine in the garden. It was a lovely opportunity to spend time together, celebrating her arrival.
Gill shares a little bit about her journey of faith in the short video below.
