Benefice News

A key part of the plan to enable more integrated working and worship across the benefice is introducing new, more efficient, benefice wide systems. So, have taken on a new Benefice Administrator, Wiebke Tickner, to work alongside our existing administrators Wiebke's initially will coordinate the new systems, and also start combining some admin tasks across the benefice. For General Admin that remains parish specific Jo and Yvonne will retain their Shere and Chilworth briefs - and Wiebke will pick up these things in Albury.
