She has written a brief word of introduction (see below). Hello, I’m Becca. I’m delighted that I will be joining you from July as a curate in your parishes. I am currently training for ordination part-time through the Eastern Region Ministry Course, and until recently was also working part-time as a Team Administrator for the Lordsbridge Team of Churches. My background, prior to having my three children, is in biomedical sciences. My family and I currently live in and attend church in Sawston, just south of Cambridge. I am looking forward to meeting you all in the summer, and working with Rev’d Jim and the ministry team to serve in your parishes. I would be grateful for your prayers over the coming year, as I will be praying for you. With every blessing, Becca Herrick Grantchester Church ReVaMP Project: January – April 2025 The church building has recently reopened following the project, which included Restoring our beautiful church Vestry refurbishment Maintenance work (and saving the best till last..)
