We are pleased to announce that after interviews at the end of March, we have appointed Michelle Coleman as our new Team Administrator, as from 16 April. Michelle comes to us with excellent administrative and management experience and skills. She is also a member of Holy Trinity church and was confirmed by the Bishop last November. Her regular hours in the office will be on Tuesdays from 9.30 am – 3.00 pm and Thursdays from 9.30 am – 4.15 pm. If you need to go into the office to see her about something, you are requested to contact her in advance by phone or email, to make an appointment. Please also note that as she worships at Holy Trinity regularly, she is there as a church member and NOT as Team Administrator! So please respect her space and try not to trouble her with office matters when she is in church! Thank you.For an interview with Michelle, please see this month’s video message on YouTube.
