It is with much sadness that Ramsbottom & Edenfield Team Ministry have to announce, that our much loved Rev Les Hallam has passed away after a short illness.<br>He was very much part of the fabric of our church, and always had a kind word for everyone. He was an inspiration to us all, and will be greatly missed.<br>Our thoughts and prayers are with Lesley and his family.“May he rest in peace and rise in glory”
After many years supporting the Ramsbottom & Edenfield Team Ministry, Rev Susan Wood has sadly retired as our OLM. Sue took her last service in the morning, which was extremely well supported by people from all our Team Churches, together with clergy, past and present.We are extremely grateful for her love and support, which was highlighted by the many friends and family that came to wish her well at an afternoon tea party held by the Team, in her honour at St Andrew's <a></a>church. After planting a tree to commemorate her Ministry, the afternoon drew to a close with a heartfelt speech by the Mayor of Rossendale Mrs Anne Cheetham.
