Introducing Our New Family Worker
I am delighted to announce that we appointed Angela Harper as our new Family Worker. Angela has been involved in the life of St Michael's in many ways, including as a leader and preacher in the Family Service, as a leader in Kidz Church, as a member of the PCC and as a mentor to several individuals. Professionally she has spent the past 10 years as a registered childminder, involved with other childminders and with local Children's Centres, and has a wealth of experience of family life from both personal and professional perspectives.
As our part-time Family Worker, Angela's main task will be to offer support to parents, including those on the fringe of our church life, as they seek to develop faith in their children amidst the pressures of modern life. She will be getting to know families through visiting and through activities and events run by the church, and supporting volunteers working with children and families. Her work will complement that done by volunteers, the Rector and Esther our youth worker. We hope parents will take the opportunity to use Angela as a confidential resource. I am confident that this appointment will help us to become a more Mission-Shaped Church.
