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.
