Church Leaders

 

Joyce Herdson

Joyce is one of our churchwardens. As well as working with our younger children and their families Joyce has a much wider role in sharing See and Know with the wider church and at New Wine. Joyce is married to Colin and their home is ruled by two teenage sons and mad dog. Joyce has a strong liking for walking, reading, autumn, costal views, chippy teas, Morcambe and Wise, Dr Who, Norman Wisdom and all things Spongebob. She has an equally strong dislike of shopping, butter beans and Jimmy Tarbuck.

Jane works during the week as a gp's receptionist for the Redbank Group based at the Radcliffe Primary Care Centre. In our spare time Paul and Jane like to walk the dog, gardening and visiting places of interest. She loves to read, swimming and enjoy a good comedian (though not all at the same time!).

Mike is our Licensed Reader and shares the leading of services and preaching. He has been the husband of Deb since 1982, and is dad to Andrew and Catherine.  He enjoys cooking, eating, drinking wine, beer and tea (even coffee occasionally), camping, gardening (some of the time), wargaming (including making the models for this) and reading his Bible!

George Smith

George is our new Treasurer (since May 2011) and will answer any questions you may have on Church finances and opportunities for giving. He is married to Sandra and between them they have 7 children and 10 grand-children.  George took flexible retirement in 2010 and now works part time.  This enabled them to move from Southport to Bolton (or Bury depending on what criteria you use).  Bolton is Sandra’s home town and closer to both their families.  God led them here and to join St Andrews and they have no regrets.    George is also a campanologist which he very much enjoys.  Future exploits will include caravanning and exploring new parts of Britain, and perhaps beyond.  Who knows what else waits for them in the world of (so-called) retirement?
