Andrew Kirk announcement
Director of Music is moving on
After almost twenty years in post, having endured Covid with some imaginative music-making and having revived the choir to the fabulous standard we enjoyed at Christmas; Andrew Kirk, like many others emerging from the pandemic, has decided it is time for a change. So it is with real sadness that I am announcing Andrew has resigned his post and will leave St Mary Redcliffe at the end of April. He is planning to have a rest over the summer and we look forward to hearing about how his new plans take shape in the autumn.

I'm Beth, Life Event Coordinator. Over the past few months, we have been busy with baptisms, weddings and funerals. From small wedding blessings with only a couple and a priest present to large affairs with over 300 guests we feel glad to have supported people during key moments in their lives. I've noticed that life event services need cooperation from the whole team at St. Mary's: Cleaners keeping the church spotless; Clergy and Vergers running a seamless service on the day; talented Musicians providing deeply moving music; the Events team rearranging schedules and tours to fit services in the diary; much admin preparation before the day; careful diligence from our Finance Manager to ensure every penny of donations are sent to families charity of choice. The love and care put in by the team here is apparent to me and hopefully reassures you that St. Mary's will be here for you in both the highlights and hard times that you face. Beth Herbert
