New member of the team
We will have a new member of the team joining in the summer.
David is in his final year of training for ordination and will join us as our Curate in July 2021.
A Curate is someone who has been ordained and is completing their training in a Parish/Chaplaincy.
We are very much looking forward to meeting David and his family, (Hanna, Lucy, Marco, Miriam, Elsie) in due course.
Here's David's message:
Hello, my name is David Lucas and I will be joining you and Rev. Lissa Scott next year as the new Curate. My family, my wife Hanna and our four children, are also excited about this new chapter. We join you after having lived in Durham for the last 5 years. We are originally from Canada, just outside of Vancouver, British Columbia. We love the outdoors. We like hiking and camping as a family. We have seen God’s guidance and provision in our move from Canada to Durham, and we feel the same peace of Christ bringing us to serve with you. I am excited to start worshipping with you, getting to know you, serving alongside you, and learning what God is doing in your communities. Know that we are praying for you and we ask that you will keep us in your prayers over the next nine months. God bless you all.
