Rector. Revd Sarah Collins |
|
|
Having left Hertfordshire 24 years ago for rural Leicestershire, I am delighted to be returning to the area which is filled with so many fond memories.
I have filled my time away with raising three now grown-up children and involving myself in the local community. After many years working with young people, I began developing a variety of new worshipping communities; these ranged from wellbeing groups for young women to Dementia cafés for couples struggling with the changes of early onset dementia amongst others. I started training for ordination at Church Mission Society with Ripon College Cuddesdon in Oxfordshire and was ordained as a Pioneer for the Church of England in 2019, working in both a rural parish as curate and centrally for the diocese supporting Lay pioneers through training and enabling them in their outreach ministry.
I am excited to be returning with my family and getting to know the communities of Sarratt and Chipperfield and hope to hear the ‘hopes and dreams’, the ‘struggles and concerns’ which you each may have for the communities and how I can enable you to develop these and bring the change you wish to see. I have met so many lovely and inspiring people already and am looking forward to meeting so many more of you over the coming years. |
