Hi. My name is Liz and I am the Family and Children's Worker for St
Matthews. Although I am new to this role, I have been a member of St
Matthew's Church for over 25 years! I am married to a husband with a
busy job, and we have two children aged 3 and 8 so I know a bit about the
pressures of modern family life. Before coming into this role I worked
as a solicitor and I'm also fluent in French! In my spare time I enjoy
tap dancing, keeping fit, and cooking for family and friends. It is an
honour for me to work alongside families and children who come into
contact with St Matthews. It is my prayer that they will see God at
work in all that is happening in this place, and will want to know Him
for themselves. One of the things I am really excited about is
Messy Church.
If you like mess, meeting other people and food then come along to our
next Messy Church event - see the Calendar.

Easter Crafts |
Our Holiday Club in summer 2011 (themed "Have I Got News for You") was led by a brilliant team from Pulse Ministries and was a fantastic success, with over 70 children attending over 5 days. Each day was bursting with activity including crafts, games, competitions, songs, team time, custard pies so much more. The highlight of each day was seeing one leader end up being splattered with gunge in the gunge tank. There was no shortage of laughter and silliness - even Reverend Colin was spotted several times playing his air guitar. Through the week we learned how the bible is packed with good news for us, and that God loves us and wants the best for us. Holiday club photos here.
We are also very proud our links with the Blue Coat Foundation Schools –
Infant
Junior
Senior.
In my role I am privileged to visit the Infant and Junior Schools on a
weekly basis. If you would like to know more please contact me on 07725
