All change at St Mary's!

Abi Parker, our Director of Music has left to start a family, so we said a sad farewell but she will be back to visit us, she promised.
The Children's Choir will especially miss her.
***
Chris Ebbern will commence his role as the new Director of Music in September but has already been playing for services at St Mary's.
The choir is looking forward to working with him.
***
As mentioned earlier we will welcome a new member of the Staff Team, Revd Pat Edwards currently Associate Priest in the Benefice of Edwalton, in the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham, to be Associate Priest in the Benefice of East Leake.
Pat’s licensing by the Archdeacon of Nottingham will take place on Sunday 16th September 2012 during the 9.30am Parish Communion service at St. Mary’s, East Leake.
We look forward to welcoming Pat to our Benefice.
***
Cora Fryer our Outreach Worker, will be leaving us at the end of August to start her training for the Ministry and we will miss her but wish her well in this new stage of her life.
Her last service with us will be on Sunday September 9th at 9.30am, and we'll be wishing her well at a party the evening before.
***
Coleen Betts has retired from leading the Flower arrangers group, having led them for several decades. We are indebted to her for all her hard work, talent and dedication to providing the church with such wonderful displays. We are now looking for additional flower arrangers.
If you enjoy this work, please contact any member of St Mary's.
***
Ann Harris is another very dedicated member of St Mary's who has stepped down as the Editor of Compass magazine after many years too. We thank her for all her hard work needed to put together a magazine, which takes a large amount of voluntary time.
Ann has now retired and the Editor's role has been taken on by John Cooper who is also our Bell Captain.
***
We are also looking for a new Webmaster, someone who enjoys working on a computer to update our website and blog and has some fresh ideas.
If you are interested, please contact anyone at St Mary's.
***
If you are new to St Mary's you will not be alone taking on any of these roles as there are people to help you. Give them a go! Your Parish Church needs YOU!
