Our churchwarden Anne King was sworn in to her role yesterday with other local churchwardens at a special service in Finchampstead with the Archdeacon of Berkshire, The Venerable Olivia Graham, and the Registrar of the Diocese, Canon John Rees.
In her charge - a sermon for the occasion - the Archdeacon affirmed the importance of the role of churchwardens as key people in the church's task to spread the good news of the gospel and be agents of transformation serving God's kingdom.
Anne is currently the only churchwarden in the parish; as no other persons have been yet found to take up the other vacant positions. The Parish of Wokingham All Saints should have three churchwardens.
The Rector Canon David Hodgson said, "We need to keep Anne in our prayers and also find ways to make sure that tasks that might have been done by other churchwardens are shared out amongst a supportive team around her. We do have a huge number of dedicated people at All Saints Church working together."
