New Elders – (in training)
The first of three Elder training sessions was held on Tuesday June 16th.
We welcomed Dalia, Grace, Lynda and Rachel who were joined by five of the Church Council, and most ably led by Alf and Roxy.
The topic was Pastoral Care with an emphasis on visiting. Our leaders involved us in a role playing exercise which was both informative and entertaining, demonstrating both the ‘how to’ and ‘how not to’.

St Aidans is now separately registered as a Charitable Trust. All Elders are listed as Trustees. The official name is The Community of St Aidans Northcote. The registration number is CC51837.
